A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named DrisStrawSeventySeven, selected for its fruit size, yield, flavor, plant architecture, and open canopy, is disclosed.

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named CIVRH612. This new everbearer strawberry plant named CIVRH612 is primarily adapted to the climate and growing conditions of the high chill areas. It is characterized by a rustic plant which is quite tolerant to leaf and root diseases and slightly susceptible to mildew. The plant has medium vigor, upright habit and good productivity also in the second year of growing. The fruit has a bright red color, conical shape, good size constant throughout the picking season and excellent skin resistance. The picking season is wide and constant. CIVRH612 has excellent organoleptic characteristics with aromatic notes of wild strawberry. The flavor is juicy and sweet with high brix levels. Stalk removal is very easy and the fruit is suitable for fruit salads. The fruit has a very good shelf life.

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named CIVRH621. This new everbearer strawberry plant named CIVRH621 is primarily adapted to the climate and growing conditions of the high chill areas. It is characterized as a rustic plant resistant to mildew with a robust and efficient root system tolerant to diseases, suitable for organic cultivation. CIVRH621 has high production during the initial harvesting period but is also long and constant through the season. The plant has high-medium vigor with semi-upright habit and medium density foliage. The fruit has a conical/hearted shape, which is maintained during the whole picking season, very attractive and uniform bright red color, also excellent skin resistance during the summer with good shelf life. The aroma of the fruit is intense and persistent with very pleasant organoleptic characteristics and an ideal balance between sweetness and acidity. Fruit picking is easy and fast.

A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant, referred to by its cultivar name, NSG 120, is provided which forms in abundance attractive early-ripening large, medium red primarily conical fruit having firm flesh that is longer than broad in configuration. The growth habit is semi-dense, semi-upright. White inflorescence is displayed. Commonly a calyx is displayed which is larger than the diameter of the corolla when open. The new variety is particularly well suited for the commercial industry.

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named CIVRL333. This new strawberry plant named CIVRL333 is primarily adapted to the climate and growing conditions of the low chill areas but it is also adapted for Northern European countries, Mediterranean and Subtropical areas. It is characterized by a plant with good vigor, upright habit and an excellent tolerance to most common diseases. The fruit is attractive with bright red color, regular shape and big size for the entire picking season and a very resistant skin even at high temperatures. The flesh is juicy, with sweet flavor and lovely aroma. The fruit is unique among the everbearer low chill varieties. Very early and long lasting picking season.

A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named DrisStrawSeventyThree, selected for its conical fruit shape, juicy fruit flesh with good post-harvest qualities, large fruit size, healthy and strong plants, and productivity, is disclosed.

The present invention provides methods for obtaining plants that exhibit useful traits by perturbation of plastid function in plant rootstocks and grafting the rootstocks to scions. Methods for identifying genetic loci that provide for useful traits in plants and plants produced with those loci are also provided. In addition, plants that exhibit the useful traits, parts of the plants including seeds, and products of the plants are provided as well as methods of using the plants. Recombinant DNA vectors and transgenic plants comprising those vectors that provide for plastid perturbation are also provided.

A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant, referred to by its cultivar name, NSG 207, is provided which forms in abundance attractive semi-early-ripening large, medium red primarily conical to slightly rhomboid fruit having firm flesh that is longer than broad in configuration. The growth habit is upright. Medium vigor and medium density is exhibited. White inflorescence is displayed. Commonly a calyx is displayed which is slightly larger than the diameter of the corolla when open. The new variety is particularly well suited for the commercial industry.

A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant, referred to by its cultivar name, NSG 203, is provided which forms in abundance attractive early-season ripening large, medium red generally conical fruit having firm flesh that is longer than broad in configuration. A medium to high vigor is exhibited. The growth habit is dense, semi-upright and globose. White inflorescence is displayed. Commonly a calyx is displayed which is substantially bigger to the diameter of the corolla when open. The new variety is particularly well suited for the commercial industry.

A new short-day strawberry plant named A13-26 is disclosed, with exceptional yield and flavor characteristics.
