Abstract: The present invention includes broccoli plants with curds having detached florets and methods for obtained such broccoli plants. The present invention also provides reagents that can be used in methods for obtaining such broccoli plants.

Abstract: A broccoli plant characterized in having an exerted head having a crown higher than the leaf canopy and a harvestable head of at least about 200 grams when planted at a density of 40,000 plants per hectare, where the harvestable head comprises the top 25 centimeters of said stalk.

Abstract: The present invention relates to vaccines comprising antiserum raised against a flagellaless Campylobacter strain for the prevention of Campylobacter colonization in animals. The invention also relates to antigenic Campylobacter proteins visible in a Western blot of Campylobacter jejuni protein after incubation of said Western blot with antibodies against a flagellaless mutant of Campylobacter jejuni and not visible after incubation of said blot with antibodies against wild type Campylobacter jejuni, and to their use in vaccines and the manufacturing thereof. The invention further relates to vaccines comprising such proteins and antibodies against such proteins. The invention further relates to the use of such Campylobacter proteins and to antiserum and antibodies raised against Campylobacter antigens for the preparation of vaccines. Finally, the invention relates to methods for the preparation of such vaccines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to live attenuated RTX-toxin producing bacteria of the family Pasteurellaceae, of which the attenuation is due to the fact that they produce RTX toxin in a non-activated form. The invention also relates to vaccines for the protection of mammals against infection with RTX-toxin producing bacteria of the family Pasteurellaceae, and to methods for the preparation of said live attenuated bacteria and vaccines.

Abstract: Inbred broccoli lines, designated BRM50-3906 are disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred broccoli lines BRM50-3906, to the plants of inbred broccoli lines BRM50-3906, and to methods for producing a broccoli plant produced by crossing the inbred line BRM50-3906 with itself or another broccoli line. The invention further relates to hybrid broccoli seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line BRM50-3906 with another broccoli line.

Abstract: Inbred broccoli line, designated BRM50-3905 is disclosed.

Abstract: According to the present invention it has been found that a novel E. coli toxin or an immunogenic fragment thereof can be used in the preparation of vaccines for warm-blooded animals, and in particular for birds. Said toxin is found to be associated in flagellar structures attached to the bacteria, and these flagella or the free toxins can, after inactivation be used to immunize animals against E. coli infections.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with vaccines effective in protecting pigs against porcine pleuropneumonia. Said vaccines comprising a hemolysin and/or macrophage toxin and a 42 kD OMP preparation derived from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) cells induce a complete and heterologous protection against App infection.
