Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.

Abstract: Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2128’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to the climactic conditions of regions such as California, USA, Italy, and Spain. It is a main season variety with resistance to Fusarium wilt races 1, 2, and 3, bacterial speck race 0, root knot nematode, tomato spotted wilt virus, early blight, and late blight. The elongated-pear shape in combination with strong internal and external color makes it particularly valuable for whole-pack tomato products, where varieties with good color and resistance to Fusarium wilt race 3 are needed.

Abstract: Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2009’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to humid climactic conditions of regions such as the Northeastern United States and Italy. It is a full season variety with resistance to verticillium wilt race 1, fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, root knot nematode, bacterial spot, bacterial canker and early blight. The superior vine health and extended field storage make it particularly valuable variety for production regions with high levels of rain that can promote bacterial and fungal diseases and delay field harvest.

Abstract: Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2012’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to the arid climactic conditions of regions such as California, USA, and Extremadura, Spain. It is a main season variety with resistance to verticillium wilt race 1, fusarium wilt races 1, 2, and 3, root knot nematode, and tomato spotted wilt virus. While the high viscosity of its processed juice make fruit of ‘H2012’ particularly valuable for production of sauces and paste, its uniform and attractive fruit are also valuable for whole-pack and peel/dice uses. The combination of extended field storage of the fruit with its resistance to fusarium wilt race 3 and tomato spotted wilt virus make it valuable to the tomato processing industry.
