Abstract: Methods of propagating a Cannabis cutting are provided. A method of propagating a Cannabis cutting can include: providing a coherent growth substrate comprising man-made vitreous fibres bonded with a cured binder composition, the growth substrate having a density in the range of 60 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3) to 70 kg/m3; inserting the Cannabis cutting into the growth substrate at a location where the growth substrate does not have a seed hole; and providing a nutrient solution having an electrical conductivity value between 1.6 milli-Siemens per centimeter (mS/cm) and 2.4 mS/cm to the Cannabis cutting in the growth substrate.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for improving competency of plant cells, such as corn plant immature embryo for bacterial-mediated transformation comprising contacting the plant cells, such as corn plant immature embryo with an effective amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG) for a period of time prior to transformation. The ability to store and maintain competent plant cells, such as corn plant immature embryo for transformation and tissue culture allows more efficient planning and execution of large-scale experiments by providing flexibility of peak production hours, or during unplanned disruptions in the production process. These methods are useful in preserving the viability of plant cells, such as corn plant immature embryo in various storage conditions, thus improving their competency for transformation and tissue culture.

Abstract: A new and distinct Gonialoe variegata cultivar named ‘AMIAL1823’ which is characterized by a short and compact plant size, thick succulent foliage covered with white subtuberculate spots arranged in irregular transverse rows and white, finely dentate leaf margins. The new variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Thuja occidentalis Tree named ‘Thusid4’ characterized by its fine textured foliage that is green in color, its tight and compact growth habit, and its upright conical plant habit.

Abstract: The new and distinct hardy perennial plant, Origanum ‘Drops of Jupiter’, has dense, rounded, habit with mostly upright to slightly outwardly stems. The foliage is ovate, and chartreuse-yellow and resists burning when planted in full sun. Flowering begins in early summer and continues to early fall or frost with mauve-pink petal colors with persistent purple calyces. The new plant is attractive and useful in the landscape en masse, as an accent, or in containers.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Dopoinfro’, characterized by its uniform, upright and mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely and upright branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; plants flower on or about November 16 in Southern California under natural season conditions; large inflorescences with bright white-colored flower bracts; and good post-production longevity.

Abstract: A new and distinct interspecific Geranium plant named ‘Pactiohopispl’, characterized by its broadly upright and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; early and freely flowering habit; and relatively large deep purplish pink-colored single type flowers with red-colored centers that are held above the foliar plane on strong peduncles.

Abstract: A new and distinct Cannabis cultivar named ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is characterized by its dominant CBG chemotype, which is favorable for application as a medicinal product. Furthermore, it may be used for the industrial-scale extraction of CBG due to the minimal concentrations of contaminating cannabinoids which may otherwise complicate the extraction of this class of secondary metabolites.

Abstract: A new and distinct Sequoia sempervirens tree named ‘Green Gigantor’ which is characterized by a freely-branching and densely-foliaged growth habit, a conical tree crown profile, distinct dark green foliage, improved tolerance to atmospheric pollution and improved disease resistance. The claimed plant propagates successfully by softwood stem cuttings and has proven to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations.

Abstract: ‘MACGEU004’ is a new and distinctive variety of Geum hybrid plant which is characterized by a large plant size, large dark green leaves, and tall inflorescences bearing large orange-red flowers. The new variety propagates successfully by stem cuttings and tissue culture and has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of interspecific tree. The following features of the tree and its fruit are characterized with the tree budded on ‘Nemaguard’ Rootstock (non-patented), grown on Handford sandy loam soil with Storie Index rating 95, in USDA Hardiness Zone 9, near Modesto, Calif., with standard commercial fruit growing practices, such as pruning, thinning, spraying, irrigation and fertilization. Its novelty consist of the following combination of desirable features: 1. Tree having a vigorous, upright growth habit. 2. Tree being a regular and productive bearer of medium size, red flesh fruit. 3. Fruit with a high degree of attractive reddish-purple skin color. 4. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality. 5. Fruit with good storage and shipping ability.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named ‘BG-12.3266’. This new strawberry plant named ‘BG-12.3266’ is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the central coast of California, and is primarily characterized by its orange red to red fruit color, medium fruit size, and cordate fruit shape, with very strong gloss; good fruit flavor, very firm fruit flesh, with seeds held even with the surface; very smooth fruit surface, even color, with only a slight difference between primary and secondary fruit; medium plant size, upright in habit, with medium density; medium yellow green foliage color, and medium foliage size; and fruit trusses typically held beneath the plant, with weak pubescence.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant named ‘Doveremsucoblu’, characterized by its compact, mounding to semi-trailing plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; large deep purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new ornamental variety of Cannabis sativa L., named ‘Divina’. ‘Divina’ was developed and obtained from a spontaneous mutation of the parent ‘Pilar’ and is asexually propagated, having a distinctive “mottled yellow and green leaf” phenotype.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Rudbeckia hirta plant named ‘G16223’ is disclosed, characterized by strong, dense branching on plants reaching approximately 15 to 18 inches tall. Inflorescences have stiff ray florets held horizontally and are held on short peduncles. Young flowering plants produce single flowers, and mature plants produce an extra row of ray florets. Ray florets are golden yellow with a dark greyed-purple base, forming a dark eye. The new variety is a Rudbeckia, and is normally used as a garden or container plant.
