A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Fire Rainbow is disclosed, characterized by rosettes of green leaves with margins of lemon yellow, blushing rose red in bright light and cooler temperature. The new cultivar freely branches, enabling increased and faster propagation. The new cultivar Fire Rainbow exhibits robust and rapid growth. The freely branching characteristic exhibited by the new cultivar, in combination with the robust, moderately rapid growth of the new cultivar Fire Rainbow, results in attractive clustering brightly colored variegation, useful for decorative combinations for special occasions or for container gardens on the patio.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Dokalgloss, characterized by its relatively compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching plant habit; glossy dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; large red purple and light red purple bi-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Dokalwelch, characterized by its relatively compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching plant habit; glossy dark green-colored leaves; uniform and freely flowering habit; double bright orange-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Dokalwilis, characterized by its relatively compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching plant habit; glossy dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; pure white-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

Provided herein are proteins capable of providing a mildew resistant phenotype, or mildew resistance, to plants belonging to the Kalanchoe genus. Also provided herein are nucleic acid sequences, or cDNA sequences, and genes encoding the present proteins. Further provided herein are methods using the proteins, nucleic acid sequences and genes for selecting mildew resistant Kalanchoe plants, such as Oidium kalanchoeae resistant Kalanchoe plants, and to generate mildew resistant Kalanchoe plants, such as Oidium kalanchoeae resistant Kalanchoe plants, comprising the present proteins, mRNA forms of the present cDNAs or the present genes.

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.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Dokalnol, characterized by its compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching plant habit; glossy dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; large double bright yellow orange-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Dokalnol, characterized by its compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching plant habit; glossy dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; large double bright yellow orange-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Dokallasc, characterized by its compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching plant habit; glossy dark green-colored leaves; uniform, early and freely flowering habit; large bright orange-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.

Provided herein are ornamental plants displaying compacted growth or having the phenotype compacted plant growth and methods for providing plants displaying compacted plant growth. Specifically, the ornamental plants displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation are vegetatively propagated from a first ornamental plant displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation, said first ornamental plant obtained by inbred breeding of at least 2 generations of a second ornamental plant not displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation and said ornamental plants have a heterozygosity percentage being decreased by at least 20% as compared to the heterozygosity percentage of said second ornamental plant not displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation.
