Abstract:
A potato cultivar designated X17 is disclosed. The invention relates to the tubers of potato cultivar X17, to the seeds of potato cultivar X17, to the plants of potato cultivar X17, to the plant parts of potato cultivar X17, to food products produced from potato cultivar X17, and to methods for producing a potato plant produced by crossing potato cultivar X17 with itself or with another potato variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a potato plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic potato plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to potato cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from potato variety X17, to methods for producing other potato cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from potato cultivar X17 and to the potato plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid potato tubers, seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing potato cultivar X17 with another potato cultivar.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a celery plant (Apium graveolens L. dulce) carrying a genetic determinant that leads to the absence or strong reduction of chlorophyll in the petioles, wherein said determinant is obtainable by introgression from a plant grown from seed of which a representative sample was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 42428. The invention further relates to markers and the use of markers for the identification of a plant that has an absence or strong reduction of chlorophyll in the petioles. The invention also relates to seeds and other propagation material of the plant and to its progeny as well as to food products that comprise the consumable parts of the plant.
Abstract:
Provided is DNA of biosynthetic enzyme of glycoalkaloid of solanaceous plant ( Solanaceae ) such as potato. Provided are a protein having activity on a biosynthetic enzyme of glycoalkaloid of solanaceous plant such as potato, and a method of creating and assaying a novel organism using a gene encoding the protein.
Abstract:
The invention provides Brassica oleracea plants comprising a white-stem trait and methods for producing a plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to diploid, fertile, self-compatible and essentially homozygous potato lines, wherein said lines comprise an agronomically desirable trait such as vigour. The invention further relates to methods for producing such plants and to hybrid seeds obtained by crossing such homozygous potato lines and to potato plants grown from said seed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to unique strategies and constructs for producing a nucleic acid product that downregulates or prevents expression of a desired target polynucleotide.
Abstract:
The invention relates to improved seeding and propagation stock of potato which has resistances of varying degrees to various pathogens, especially against fungi from the species Phytophthora. The invention also relates to a method for crossing the Phytophthora resistance into various potato cultivars.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the breeding and selection of potatoes. The invention provides a potato plant or part derived thereof having at least one amf -allele said potato plant or part further provided with an increased capacity to store a protein as characterized by an increased protein content of its tubers. Furthermore, the invention provides a method for breeding and selecting a potato with an increased capacity to store a protein comprising crossing a first parent potato with at least one amf -allele with a second parent potato without an amf -allele, and selecting progeny for the presence of at least one amf -allele with a protein content of its tubers higher than detected in said first parent or said second parent.
