Abstract: ‘UCD Royal Royce’ is a day-neutral strawberry cultivar of garden strawberry that provides high yields and produces fewer runners that many high-yielding day-neutral cultivars.

Abstract: ‘UCD Warrior’ is a short-day strawberry cultivar of garden strawberry that has resistance to Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, and Macrophomina; and produces high yields of high quality, long shelf-life fruit.

Abstract: ‘UCD Victor’ is a short-day strawberry cultivar of garden strawberry that has resistance to Fusarium wilt and Verticillium wilt, and produces firm fruit and high yields of high quality, long shelf-life fruit.

Abstract: ‘UCD Valiant’ is a day-neutral strawberry cultivar of garden strawberry that provides high yields and produces large, firm fruit. The variety has performed particularly well in low-input and organic production systems.

Abstract: Methods for plant transformation, for improving transformation efficiency, and for producing transgenic plants are provided. The methods comprise crossing a recipient plant from a genetic line of a plant species of interest with a donor plant selected from a transformation competent genetic line of the same plant species or of another closely related plant species to obtain a hybrid plant. Tissues obtained from the hybrid plant are transformation competent. These tissues can then be transformed with one or more nucleotide sequences of interest and selected for transgenic events having the nucleotide sequence of interest integrated within a chromosome derived from the recipient plant. Transformed cells can be selected and transgenic hybrid plants regenerated. The nucleotide sequence of interest can be introgressed into the genetic line from which the original recipient parent was derived, or into other genetic lines. Transformed plants and seeds are additionally provided.

Abstract: Methods for increasing resistance in plants to pathogens by the expression of a hydrogen peroxide/reactive oxygen species producing enzyme or an oxalate degrading enzyme. The present invention relates to a method of producing a pathogen resistant hybrid plant by crossing the appropriate transgenic expressing a hydrogen peroxide/reactive oxygen species producing enzyme or an oxalate degrading enzyme with pathogen tolerant lines or inbreds obtained through conventional genetic manipulations, or by transformation of tolerant plants or plant tissues with a hydrogen peroxide/reactive oxygen species producing gene or by altering the expression of an endogenase hydrogen peroxide/reactive oxygen species producing gene. The synergistic effect of expression of a hydrogen peroxide/reactive oxygen species producing enzyme or an oxalate degrading enzyme in a tolerant background gives significant and unexpectedly high resistance to the pathogens.
