A new cultivar of Dianthus plant named `WP PASSION` that is characterized by pronounced compact habit, grey-green foliage, and large deep red double flowers. In combination these traits set `WP PASSION` apart from all other existing varieties of Dianthus known to the inventor.

`GOLD VELVET` is a distinctive variety of Anigozanthos hybrid which is characterized by the combination of its medium plant height with an upright growth habit and a semi-erect leaf attitude, large number of flowers per inflorescence and a predominantly yellow colored perianth tube.

A new and distinct low-chill southern highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum) cultivar. Its novelty lies in the following unique combination of features: 1. Has a low chilling requirement. 2. Has a vigorous bush, between upright and spreading. 3. Produces large berries with excellent scar and firmness. 4. Ripens the first 25% of its berries by April 12 in north Florida in an average year.

Shrub rose plant having flowers with excellent disease resistance; compact mounding plant habit; small, distinctive pink flowers with a white eye; excellent vigor on its own roots; constant bloom and cold hardiness to Zone 4.

Shrub rose plant having flowers with dark purple flower color; strong lemon fragrance; vigorous, upright growth; large clusters, ease of rooting as a softwood or hardwood cutting; and excellent resistance to rust and powdery mildew.

The invention relates to transgenic plants from barley containing more than 2 grams of thaumatin in 1 kg of kernel material, to extracts and products obtained from it, especially malt and flour products, including food for humans and animal feed.

The present invention relates to genes, proteins and methods comprising molecules that alter amino acid levels. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to altering guanidino substrate hydrolysis activities in plants, arthropods and microorganisms using molecules within the arginase family and other molecules that alter an amino acid levels. In ones embodiment, the present invention relates to altering threonine substrate deamination and dehydration activities in plants, arthropods and m...

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for enhancing plant defenses against pathogens. More particularly, the invention relates to enhancing plant immunity against bacterial pathogens, wherein AtMIN7 mediated protection is enhanced and/or there is a decrease in activity of an AtMIN7 associated virulence protein such as a Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 HopM1. Reagents of the present invention provide a means of studying cellular trafficking while formulations of the pre...

The present invention provides a novel cytochrome P450 enzyme, as well as vectors and recombinant host cells comprising the gene encoding the enzyme. Provided are recombinant plant with enhanced disease and/or pest resistance, modified favour and/or fragrance and methods for hydroxy lifting terpene substrates.

The invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules which encode novel fatty acid hydroxylases. The invention also provides recombinant expression vectors including hydroxylase nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and methods for the production of hydroxyl fatty acids such as 12-hydroxyoctadec-9-enoic acid (ricinoleic acid).
