  • Patent number: 9029630
    Abstract: Crossing a winter B. napus line with a rapid-cycle B. rapa line has been discovered to provide an unexpectedly simple and efficient way to create a modified B. napus with a spring flowering habit. In one implementation, such a modified B. napus or its progeny is crossed with a second winter B. napus line to produce a plant having a winter flowering habit. This allows one to significantly shorten the development cycle for winter-flowering B. napus lines by conducting part of the breeding program with spring-flowering time cycles, then migrating the resultant germplasm back into a winter-flowering line.

  • Patent number: 8927804
    Abstract: This disclosure provides perennial ryegrass plants having determinate-stolons developed by subjecting large number of perennial ryegrass plants to intense traffic. This grass can quickly repair (high regeneration potential) itself from traffic damage, and has good turf qualities compared to other perennial ryegrasses. The high regeneration potential gives it the ability to quickly repair itself from traffic damage and fill in open areas in turf. Methods of using the perennial ryegrass grass plants and seed are also provided. This grass is suitable for use in turf, for example turf that is exposed to significant traffic. This disclosure also provides methods of selecting for such grass plants.

  • Patent number: 8357837
    Abstract: A Brassica plant comprising a unique recombination event resulting from a break at a position along a nucleic acid segment derived from Ogura Raphanus sativus between the restorer locus and the glucosinolate locus and subsequent rejoining to produce a new recombination event, BLR1. The BLR1 recombination event expresses fertility restoring resulting from expression of the restorer gene derived from Raphanus sativus and a GSL content no higher than normal double low open pollinated varieties. The Brassica inbred line BLR-038, Deposit Number NCIMB-41193, is one example of a plant that contains the BLR1 recombination event. The BLR1 recombination event is introgressed into different Brassica genetic backgrounds using breeding techniques known to those skilled in the art. For example, the Brassica inbred line BLR-038 or another Brassica plant containing the BLR1 recombination event may be crossed with male sterile inbreds to produce hybrids expressing low GSL content and superior agronomic traits.

  • Patent number: 8344229
    Abstract: New plants were created from a new and efficient method of intergeneric hybridization between the genus Argyranthemum as a female parent and a plant from I. versicolor and Glebionis sp. as a male parent. The plants were created by rescuing an embryo from the cross-pollination of a tetraploid or aneu-tetraploid Argyranthemum female parent with a plant from the group I. versicolor and Glebionis sp. as a male parent. The new plants often exhibited the perennial and multi-branched habit of the female Argyranthemum parent, with large capitula size and different ray floret colors, many not previously seen in Argyranthemum. When compared to Argyranthemum, the new plants possessed improved tolerance to high growing temperatures.
