Abstract: The present invention relates to white rust resistant plants of the genus Chrysanthemum and to seeds, plant parts, plant cells and progeny thereof. The present invention further relates to means, and particularly molecular markers for identifying white rust resistant plants of the genus Chrysanthemum. Specifically, the present invention relates to plants belonging to the genus Chrysanthemum, the plants are resistant to white rust and the plants comprise in their genome at least one genomic region, or gene or allele, providing white rust resistance, the at least one genomic region, or gene or allele, providing white rust resistance is genetically linked to a nucleic acid sequence comprised in at least one copy in the genome of the resistant plants and is represented by SEQ ID No. 3.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for providing improved vigor, and especially priming or improving root formation, of plant cuttings and to plant cuttings obtained thereby. Specifically, the methods include the steps of a) contacting a plant cutting with a polymeric solution, or suspension, optionally including one or more plant growth promoting and/or plant protecting compounds, thereby providing a coated plant cutting; b) allowing the polymeric solution, or suspension, of the coated plant cutting to solidify into a complexed coating, thereby providing an encapsulated plant cutting. The encapsulated plant cutting is coated with the complexed coating from the basal cut surface or tip of the plant cutting to less than 60% of the total length of said plant cutting to partially encapsulate the plant cutting with the complexed coating.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of virology. The invention provides an isolated plant virus named Tomato Marchitez virus (ToMarV), and components thereof. The invention further relates to methods of producing a ToMarV-resistant plant comprising the steps of identifying a ToMarV-resistant donor plant, crossing said ToMarV-resistant donor plant with a recipient plant, and selecting from an offspring plant a resistant plant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tomato plant having within its genome at least one allele of a gene that confers resistance to Tomato torrado virus (ToTV), said virus having been deposited with the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH on 24 Nov. 2004 under depositors reference number ToTV-E01 (DSM 16999).
