Abstract: A method for promoting the accumulation of secondary metabolites of cannabis is disclosed. The method comprises the step of adding an irradiation of green-yellow light, which has a peak wavelength at 505-590 nm, into the indoor growing environment of cannabis to improve the level of cannabidiol (CBD), secondary metabolites in cannabis. While maintaining the light intensity and other growth conditions, the yield and/or level of CBD, secondary metabolites in cannabis, can be increased by up to 11.04%.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a dimeric stilbene using a plant callus culture solution. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing a dimeric stilbene using a plant callus culture solution and a composition for dimeric stilbene production, which contains a plant callus culture solution as an active ingredient.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the production of viable explants from mature corn seeds, wherein the explant comprises the apical portion of the embryo axis of the corn seed. The present invention also relates to methods for producing such explants and for transforming the explants with a heterologous DNA.

Abstract: A honey-based rooting gel composition and method of preparing the same are disclosed. The honey-based rooting gel composition comprises honey and symbiotic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana or Trichoderma koningii which increases plant growth and health, and may also contain a plant rooting hormone such as Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or other plant rooting hormones that promote root initiation, or natural rooting substances such as willow bark extracts that promote root growth. The use of honey provides an unexpected synergy to protect the cuttings from pathogens through the antibacterial and anti-fungal properties of the honey and benefits both plant and fungal growth by providing growth-promoting carbohydrates (mainly fructose and glucose) for both the plant and the germinating fungal spores.

Abstract: A new and distinct Psidium tree named ‘SERRATO 29’ which is characterized by the combination of a broad-globular growth habit of the canopy, late-season fruiting, very high fruit yield, globose to ovoid fruit with fewer seeds and dense, firm flesh with a very sweet flavor, and the stability of these characteristics from generation to generation.

Abstract: The new and distinct plant of Buddleia ‘Pink Cascade II’ is a rounded-mounded, multi-stemmed, winter-hardy butterfly bush with very long, broad, slightly pendulous flowering thyrse producing a waterfall effect over a long season beginning mid-summer with sweetly fragrant flowers of pinkish petals that are attractively offset by dark green foliage with silvery undersides. No seed has been observed on this plant and it is presumed to be sterile. The new plant is valuable for landscaping en masse, as an accent or as a potted specimen.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Vaccinium plant named ‘DW18-04’ is disclosed, characterized by an upright and spreading plant habit, vigorous growth and semi-deciduous habit in Florida. Fruit is very firm, with an average firmness of 333 g/mm. The new variety shows tolerance for wet soil conditions. Fruit yield is exceptionally high, with fruit ripening early, with first harvest in mid-March in Central Florida. Fruit is globose, 18 to 25 mm in diameter with an attractive waxy coating. The new variety is a Vaccinium, and is normally used for commercial fruit production.

Abstract: ‘BL516’ is a new and distinct variety of Persea americana tree. The variety exhibits an upright growth habit with strongly drooping branches; and forms pyriform, slightly obovate or occasionally rhomboidal shaped generally black-skinned fruit when ripe that lack shoulders and is well distributed around the tree. The fruit is comparable in size to that of the ‘Hass’ variety and matures slightly later then the fruit of the ‘Hass’ variety. ‘BL516’ fruit has yellow-green flesh of excellent eating quality that is free of obvious fibers. The ‘BL516’ variety forms leaves in greater quantity than the ‘Hass’ variety and displays moderate resistance to the Persea mite.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides) plant named ‘UF20-103-3’, selected for having a combination of desirable traits that make it well-suited for use as an annual plant in the summer landscape. ‘UF20-103-3’ was selected for its consistent foliage color patterning, and also for its fast growth rate and vigor in the greenhouse and landscape. ‘UF20-103-3’ has ruffled, highly lobed foliage that is predominantly dark red with consistent yellow green accents and leaf margins. ‘UF20-103-3’ maintains these contrasting colors and patterns in both sun and shade. ‘UF20-103-3’ is upright and spreading in habit, but it is highly branched, growing wider than it does tall.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Lavandula plant named ‘Anouk Deluxe 1802’, characterized by its compact, upright and broadly spreading plant habit; freely branching growth habit; freely flowering habit; dark violet-colored flowers and bright purple-colored terminal flower bracts positioned on strong and erect peduncles; long flowering period; and good garden performance.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant named ‘COUHAGIE’ is disclosed, characterized by large, conical-shaped panicles with flowers that age from cream to green. Plants have compact, v-shaped habits and brown stems. The new variety is a Hydrangea, typically produced as an outdoor ornamental plant.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named ‘Doostmarkar’, characterized by its compact, broadly upright, uniform and mounding plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely and uniformly branching habit; freely and early flowering habit; large single-type inflorescences with reddish purple-colored ray florets; and good garden performance.
