Abstract: An infant feeding assembly including a feeding bottle and a sealed cup holding a single serve of infant formula to be mixed with water. The bottle includes a cup holder, a teat, a mounting ring, a water fill opening and a closure device. The cup holder is adapted to hold the cup, in an opened condition. The teat has a dome shaped base and a spout. The mounting ring releasably mounts the teat onto the cup holder. The water fill opening, through which a mixing cavity of the feeding bottle can be filled with water while the opened cup is held by the cup holder and the teat is mounted on the cup holder, is provided in the cup holder and/or in the mounting ring and/or in the teat. The cup and the teat at least partially define the mixing cavity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for providing cytoplasmic male sterile Petroselinum plants, cytoplasmic male sterile Petroselinum crispum plants and to seeds, cells, tissues and plant parts thereof. Specifically the present invention relates to a method for providing a cytoplasmic male sterile Petroselinum crispum plant comprising: (a) providing first protoplasts obtained from a plant selected from the group consisting of Daucus carota L., Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Apium graveolens L., and Pastinaca sativa L., wherein the first protoplasts have a substantially inactivated nuclear genome and a substantially non-modified cytoplasm; (b) providing second protoplasts obtained from Petroselinum crispum wherein the second protoplasts have a substantially inactivated cytoplasm and a substantially non-modified nuclear genome; (c) fusing said first and second protoplasts; and (d) obtaining from the fusion product of said first and second protoplasts a cytoplasmic male sterile Petroselinum crispum plant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) Cichorium plants and especially to cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) green chicory plants; cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) radicchio rosso plants; cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) red leaved chicory plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) Treviso plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) white chicory plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) sugar loaf plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) Belgian endive plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) witloof plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) Catalogna plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) C. intybus var. foliosum plants, cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) C. endivia plants and cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) C. intybus L. var. sativum plants. The present invention further relates to methods for identifying cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) Cichorium plants and mitochondrial nucleic acid sequences providing cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in Cichorium plants.
