The invention provides seeds and plants of Catharanthus hybrid ‘PAS1192826’ and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of Catharanthus hybrid ‘PAS1192826’ and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a Catharanthus plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another Catharanthus plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates plants, seeds, plant parts and tissue cultures of Catharanthus hybrid ‘PAS1192826’ and the parent lines thereof comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The invention provides seeds and plants of Catharanthus hybrid ‘PAS1305707’ and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of Catharanthus hybrid ‘PAS1305707’ and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a Catharanthus plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another Catharanthus plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates plants, seeds, plant parts and tissue cultures of Catharanthus hybrid ‘PAS1305707’ and the parent lines thereof comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The present invention relates to plants of the genus Catharanthus containing a genetic resistance to Phytophthora. In particular, the present invention relates to a Catharanthus roseus plant containing a genetic resistance to the F and S isolates of P. nicotianae.

A new and distinct cultivar of Catharanthus plant named ‘Sunfs 82311’, characterized by its compact, semi-upright and uniformly mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; relatively small star-shaped purple-colored flowers with darker purple-colored centers; and good garden performance.

A production method can produce alkaloids at higher efficiencies than conventional methods includes expressing, in a Catharanthus plant of the family Apocynaceae and using gene manipulation, a protein that particulates in tryptophan biosynthesis and a protein that participates in secologanin biosynthesis.

A new and distinct cultivar of Catharanthus plant named Eld Stjama, characterized by its compact, semi-upright and uniformly mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; relatively small star-shaped red purple-colored flowers that become light red with development; and good garden performance.

A new and distinct cultivar of Catharanthus plant named Suncatfe 291, characterized by its compact, semi-upright and uniformly mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; relatively small star-shaped light red purple-colored flowers with dark red purple-colored centers; and good garden performance.
