The invention provides seed and plants of pepper hybrid SV5603PB and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of pepper hybrid SV5603PB and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a pepper plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another pepper plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

The present invention relates to the use of mammal kinase inhibitors, preferably human kinase inhibitors, to promote the induction of in vitro embryogenesis, a strategy never used in plants systems before. The results obtained indicated that these inhibitors have beneficial effects in both crop and forest plants in in vitro systems of microspore and somatic embryogenesis.

The present invention relates to the field of plant breeding and in particular to the regeneration of plants from cells and other tissues. More particularly, the invention provides methods and means for improving callus formation and regeneration of plants from callus tissue using a histone deacetylase inhibitor.

A method for organically planting Dendrobium, including using a planting medium in the epiphytic planting step of Dendrobium. The raw materials of planting medium include fermented powder of Dendrobium candidum leaves and sawdust; a method for preparing the fermented powder of Dendrobium candidum leaves is as follows: cutting Dendrobium candidum leaves into small pieces and mashing the small pieces of Dendrobium candidum leaves to obtain materials to be fermented, and then adding liquid medium to the materials to be fermented to obtain fermentation system; sterilizing the fermentation system, adding fermentation bacteria to the fermentation system to obtain a mixture, fermenting and filtering the mixture to obtain post-culturing fermentation broth and fermented products of Dendrobium candidum leaves, dewatering and crushing the fermented products of Dendrobium candidum leaves to obtain fermented powder of Dendrobium candidum leaves.

New lettuce variety designated ‘E01G.11092’ is described. ‘E01G.11092’ is a lettuce variety exhibiting stability and uniformity.

The invention provides compositions and methods for the breeding, production, processing and use of specialty Cannabis.

Methods of in vitro clonal propagation, regeneration and transformation in Cannabis are provided. Also provided is the use of such methods in improvements of cannabis cultivars such as via breeding.

The present invention relates to a method for conducting high-throughput and directed mutagenesis for sugarcane resistance to glyphosate by plasma. The method is as follows: sugarcane embryonic calli are irradiated by a plasma instrument under a sterile condition for mutagenesis, wherein the mutagenesis power is 140˜200 W, the discharging distance is 35˜45 mm, the mutagenesis time is 110˜140 s and the protective gas is nitrogen; buffering culture, moderate/high concentration of glyphosate stress screening, differentiation into seedlings, glyphosate stress screening of bottle seedlings and stress screening via spraying glyphosate on the leave surfaces of potted plants are conducted for the treated calli. The present invention has the advantages of safe operation, simplicity, practicability, high handling capacity, low contamination, and due to implementation of directed stress screening, high screening efficiency, decreased subsequent screening workload and visual identification of resistant mutant strains.

The present invention provides a longitudinally split immature tiller separated from a rhizome (LSITR), a cluster of multiple in vitro shoots (CMIT), a cluster of stem segments containing shoot primordia (CSSSP) and an in vitro tiller of Miscanthus x giganteus (Giant miscanthus), and their uses in propagating Miscanthus x giganteus (Giant miscanthus).

The present invention relates to OsNF-YA5 gene from Oryza sativa for increasing nitrogen availability of plant and uses thereof. Since the OsNF-YA5 gene of the present invention can increase or improve nitrogen availability of a plant, it can be advantageously used for developing a plant which enables lesser consumption of nitrogen fertilizer while maintaining the same plant yield, i.e., an environment friendly plant with lower production cost.
