Abstract: A new apple variety distinguished by the following unique combination of characteristics: It is field-immune to apple scab disease, has good resistance to the bacterial disease fire blight, and moderate resistance to the fungal disease powdery mildew. This new apple is relatively late ripening. It has medium-large fruit size, red colored fruit, with excellent flavor (full favored, fruity, sweet, mild-subacid). The fruit hangs well on the tree, even after ripening. The tree is highly productive on an annual basis.

Abstract: A new pear variety distinguished by its large size fruit of nice shape; fruit having a good quality texture and flavor; good tree type; blight tolerant (equivalent to ‘Honeysweet’ variety); early season (mid-August); and annual high productivity.

Abstract: A new apple variety of distinguished by a small size fruit; resistance to apple scab; fruit having extremely crisp flesh and excellent flavor; and fruit that ripens in mid-September, but does not readily fall from the tree.

Abstract: A variety of pear tree having a high productivity, tolerance to fireblight, consistently large fruit that ripens early, and fruit having a pleasant, juicy flavor.

Abstract: Synthetic seeds are produced by encapsulating asexual plant embryos with a nontoxic, biocompatible, water-soluble coating material. The encapsulation is effected by mixing asexual embryos with a synthetic coating material, dispensing such mixture as droplets onto a sterile surface, and drying such droplets to constant weight at room temperature to form detachable wafers consisting of one or more asexual embryos embedded in the synthetic coating material.

Abstract: A method for growth, development and maturation of cacao embryos produced from the callus of Theobroma cacao L., and product of such method.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the non-agricultural production of jojoba wax through the culture of asexual embryos of jojoba.

Abstract: This invention is a non-agricultural method for producing cotyledons of those plant species whose cotyledons have commercial value for the manufacture of useful products or for direct use as foodstuffs such as Theobroma cacao L. (cacao). The method involves three (3) distinct steps, namely, (1) proliferation of embryos by asexual embryogenesis through in vitro culture using a defined media; (2) the growth of the embryos in vitro in a media that will prevent premature germination, and (3) harvest of the in vitro-grown cotyledonary tissue.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree (Malus×domestica Borkh.). The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in May 1973 at the Clark Farm in West Lafayette, Ind., in the L Block, Row 20, Tree 41. When selected, it had the designation PRF 2714-4 in the breeding records and was tested under the designation “Co-op 25”.

Abstract: A new apple variety distinguished by good storage ability, good to excellent dessert quality, and a resistance to apple scab, cedar rust, and fireblight, with a moderate resistance to powdery mildew.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of apple tree is distinctly characterized by its high fruit quality, the attractive red color and good flavor of the fruit, and its resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the causal agent of apple scab disease. This new cultivar of apple tree, now designated as COOP 21, is a seedling of known parentage planted in 1969 in the PA block of the apple breeding orchard at the Pomology Research Center at the Illinois Agricultural Experimental Station, Urbana, Ill., which site is a cultivated area. In the above-mentioned orchard, its position was Row 1, Tree 58, having the designation PRI 2259-100 in the breeding records. After observation, the selection was asexually reproduced by grafting on both seedlings and dwarfing roots. The grafted material has maintained the described characteristics after propagation.

Abstract: The cultivar of the present invention, designated `Co-op 30`, is a new and distinct cultivar of apple Tree (Malus.times.domestica Borkh.). It was discovered in October of 1978 at West Lafayette, Ind., in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the causal agent of the scab disease of apple. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in May of 1972 in the CL Block of the apple breeding orchard on the old Clark Farm tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind. In the above mentioned block, its position was Row 4, Tree 38, having the designation PRI 2693-1 in the breeding records.

Abstract: The cultivar of the present invention, designated `Co-op 38`, is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree (Malus.times.domestica Borkh.). It was discovered in October of 1980 at West Lafayette, Ind., in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the causal agent of the scab disease of apple. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in May of 1973 in the HE Block of the apple breeding orchard on the Hinsley tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind. In the above mentioned block, its position was Row 4, Tree 16, having the designation PRI 2750-6 in the breeding records.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree (Malus Xdomestica Borkh). It was discovered in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the casual agent of the scab disease of apple. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in Apr. 15,1975 in the HF Block of an apple breeding orchard on the Hinsley tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind., in row 34. Because the trees in this row were spaced very closely its tree number was not recorded. When selected it had the designation PRI 2946-1 in the breeding records and was tested under the designations HFRow 34 and Co-op 32.
