Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant from the Capsicum family suitable for use as rootstock, capable of being obtained from the initial crossing of a Capsicum plant, preferably a C. annuum plant, with a Capsicum baccatum plant used as female parent, optionally followed by one or more additional crossing(s) with a Capsicum baccatum plant. Another subject of the present invention is a grafted plant constituted of a rootstock according to the invention and a graft. A further subject of the present invention is a seed, a cell or a part of a rootstock plant according to the invention. A final subject of the present invention is the use of a plant according to the invention as rootstock and a process for obtaining a grafted plant.

Abstract: The present invention concerns hybrid Lactuca sativa seeds which have a male sterile genotype and which are heterozygous for at least one distinct gene which provides plants derived from said seeds with a distinct phenotype. The invention also concerns a method for producing hybrid Lactuca sativa seeds, comprising a step for culture, in an enclosed medium, of phenotypically male sterile plants and phenotypcally male fertile plants, a step for pollinization by diptera introduced into the closed medium upon flowering of the plants, and a step for harvesting the seeds produced by the male sterile plants.
