The present invention relates to a Apium graveolens L. dulce seed designated 49-08 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Apium graveolens L. dulce plant produced by growing the 49-08 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the celery cultivar, represented by celery variety 49-08 RZ.

The present invention relates to a celery plant (Apium graveolens L. dulce) carrying a genetic trait that leads to a shorter petiole and a shorter total plant length at mature harvest stage as compared to a celery plant not carrying the said genetic trait, wherein said genetic trait is as present in the genome of plants grown from seed of which a representative sample was deposited with the NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 41902.

The invention relates to a celery plant (Apium graveolens L. dulce) carrying a genetic determinant that leads to the absence or strong reduction of chlorophyll in the petioles, wherein said determinant is obtainable by introgression from a plant grown from seed of which a representative sample was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 42428. The invention further relates to markers and the use of markers for the identification of a plant that has an absence or strong reduction of chlorophyll in the petioles. The invention also relates to seeds and other propagation material of the plant and to its progeny as well as to food products that comprise the consumable parts of the plant.

The present invention relates to Apium graveolens plants being resistant to one or more genomically encoded resistances to the plant pathogen Septoria apiicola. Specifically the present invention relates to Apium graveolens plants wherein at least one genomically encoded resistance to the plant pathogen Septoria apiicola is the genomically encoded resistance to the plant pathogen Septoria apiicola as present in deposit NCIMB 42711. The present invention further relates to hybrids containing the present Septoria apiicola resistance and agents, as molecular markers, suitable for detecting the present invention.

The present invention relates to a celery plant (Apium graveolens L. dulce) carrying a genetic trait that leads to a shorter petiole and a shorter total plant length at mature harvest stage as compared to a celery plant not carrying the said genetic trait, wherein said genetic trait is as present in the genome of plants grown from seed of which a representative sample was deposited with the NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 41902.

The present invention relates to a Apium graveolens L. dulce seed designated 49-835 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Apium graveolens L. dulce plant produced by growing the 49-835 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the celery cultivar, represented by celery variety 49-835 RZ.

The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar 51-7 IPS 1, to the plants of celery cultivar 51-7 IPS land to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar 51-7 IPS 1 with itself or another celery cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a celery plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic celery plants and plant parts produced by those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid celery seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar 51-7 IPS 1 with another celery cultivar.

A celery cultivar, designated TBG 34, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar TBG 34, to the plants of celery cultivar TBG 34 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar TBG 34 with itself or another celery cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a celery plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic celery plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to celery cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 34, to methods for producing other celery cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 34 and to the celery plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid celery seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar TBG 34 with another celery cultivar.

A celery cultivar, designated TBG 29, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar TBG 29, to the plants of celery cultivar TBG 29 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar TBG 29 with itself or another celery cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a celery plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic celery plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to celery cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 29, to methods for producing other celery cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 29 and to the celery plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid celery seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar TBG 29 with another celery cultivar.
