A new Kalanchoe plant particularly distinguished by large, dark red flowers with an entire flower margin, is disclosed.

Described is a plant transformed with one or more genes originating from the Ri plasmid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes by infection with A. rhizogenes comprising the Ri plasmid, or being progeny of such a plant, said plant or progeny comprising, in the genome thereof, 1 to 5 copies said one or more genes originating from the Ri plasmid. Further, the use of such a plant or progeny thereof as ornamental plants, the use as field crop species, for food extracts, cosmetics, perfumes or as medicinal plants is disclosed. Further disclosed are methods for the preparation of such plants. Said plants display an intermediate height and/or with a higher content of metabolites without significant reduction of flower number or flowering time delay as compared to control plants void of Agrobacterium rhizogenes sequences.

A new and distinct variety of Kalanchoe hybrid plant named ‘Little Dragon’ is disclosed, with plants exhibiting a low growing and compact morphology. Foliage is comprised of apple green leaves with red margins. In bright light or during cooler climates, the leaves blush intensely, becoming largely red with green only near the center of the plant. The new cultivar ‘Little Dragon’ exhibits robust and rapid growth, enhancing finished pot production times in the commercial nursery. The new variety is a Kalanchoe, useful as container or landscape plants.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named ‘Dokaladki’, characterized by its relatively compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit and moderate growth rate; freely branching plant habit; dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; double-type reddish purple-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named ‘Dokalbrat’, characterized by its relatively large, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; freely branching plant habit; dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; large single-type purplish pink-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity and garden performance.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named ‘EC-KALA-2109’ is disclosed, characterized by green leaves with serrated, white leaf margins, which vary in width. Plants have an upright, globular habit, with succulent, rounded branches. Flowering has not been observed. Kalanchoe is a popular genus, typically produced for the floriculture industry, as well as for uses as container plants for the patio, or as landscape plants. The new variety is suitable for both indoor and outdoor ornamental uses.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named ‘Dokallux’, characterized by its relatively compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit and moderate growth rate; freely branching plant habit; dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; single-type bright orange-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

The present invention is directed to seedless fruit producing watermelon plants. The present invention also comprises methods for production of said plants and methods for producing seedless watermelon fruits.
