The present invention relates a plant which may comprise a modified F5H gene homolog, wherein said gene homolog may comprise a modification as compared to its corresponding wild type F5H gene homolog, wherein the presence of the modified F5H gene homolog in the plant leads to a reduction of wound-induced surface discoloration in comparison to a plant not comprising the modified F5H gene homolog. The invention also relates to a modified F5H gene homolog that leads to the reduced wound-induced surface discoloration. The invention further relates to use of the gene in breeding and producing plants that show reduced wound-induced surface discoloration.

The present application is directed to lettuce plants comprising a mutation in each of at least two different PPO genes, where said mutations reduce the activity of PPO protein compared to a wild type lettuce plant. The present application is also directed to methods for making such lettuce plants.

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

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

The present invention relates to a Lactuca sativa seed designated 45-IC3262 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Lactuca sativa plant produced by growing the 45-IC3262 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the lettuce cultivar, represented by lettuce variety 45-IC3262 RZ.

According to the disclosure, there is provided a novel lettuce cultivar, designated Lucky. Lucky is described as a lettuce cultivar with dark green thick leaves, large head size, strong tolerance to tip burn, short core length and round heads. This disclosure thus relates to the seeds of lettuce cultivar Lucky, to the plants of lettuce cultivar Lucky, to plant parts of lettuce cultivar Lucky, to methods for producing a lettuce cultivar by crossing the lettuce cultivar Lucky with another lettuce cultivar, and to methods for producing a lettuce cultivar containing in its genetic material one or more backcross conversion traits or transgenes and to the backcross conversion lettuce plants and plant parts produced by those methods.

The disclosure relates to lettuce variety NUN 09161 LTL as well as seeds and plants and heads or leaves thereof. NUN 09161 LTL is a multileaf green lettuce compact variety comprising resistance to Downy Mildew (Bremia lactucae) Isolates B1:16-37EU and Nasonovia ribisnigri Biotype Nr:0.

The invention relates to a lettuce plant (Lactuca sativa L.) which may comprise a resistance allele which confers a broad spectrum resistance to Bremia lactucae, wherein the resistance allele is located on linkage group 9, and which resistance allele is as found in the genome of plants grown from seeds of which a representative sample was deposited under accession number NCIMB 42141. The invention further provides seeds, progeny, propagation material and food products from the plant.

Novel lettuce, such as lettuce designated SAWTOOTH is disclosed. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to the seeds of lettuce designated SAWTOOTH, to the plants and plant parts of lettuce designated SAWTOOTH, and to methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing the lettuce designated SAWTOOTH with itself or another lettuce plant. The disclosure further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other lettuce plants derived from the lettuce designated SAWTOOTH.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) plants exhibiting resistance to Nasonovia ribisnigri biotype Nr:1 are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a Nasonovia ribisnigri biotype Nr:1 resistance phenotype. Such plants include lettuce plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring pest resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed loci, are further provided.
