Abstract: Novel lettuce, such as lettuce designated FLOWCUT is disclosed. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to the seeds of lettuce designated FLOWCUT, to the plants and plant parts of lettuce designated FLOWCUT, and to methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing the lettuce designated FLOWCUT with itself or another lettuce plant. The disclosure further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other lettuce plants derived from the lettuce designated FLOWCUT.

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.
