A potato cultivar designated Y9 is disclosed. The invention relates to the tubers of potato cultivar Y9, to the seeds of potato cultivar Y9, to the plants of potato cultivar Y9, to the plant parts of potato cultivar Y9, to food products produced from potato cultivar Y9, and to methods for producing a potato plant produced by crossing potato cultivar Y9 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 Y9, to methods for producing other potato cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from potato cultivar Y9 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 Y9 with another potato cultivar.

Potato cultivar Y9

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.

Potato cultivar X17

A potato transformation vector, pSIM1678 is disclosed. The invention relates to the potato transformation vector which contains an expression cassette for the potato late blight resistance gene, Rpi-vntl, and a silencing cassette for the plant vacuolar invertase gene, VInv.

Potato transformation vector pSIM1678

The invention relates to methods for stably integrating a desired polynucleotide into a plant genome, comprising transforming plant material with a first vector comprising nucleotide sequences encoding TAL proteins designed to recognize a target sequence; transforming the plant material with a second vector comprising (i) a marker gene that is not operably linked to a promoter ('promoter-free marker cassette') and which comprises a sequence homologous to the target sequence; and (ii) a desired polynucleotide; and identifying transformed plant material in which the desired polynucleotide is stably integrated.

TAL-mediated transfer DNA insertion

The present invention is drawn to novel genes from wild plants, such as wild potato and pepper plants, that confer potyvirus resistance to plants, such as in transformed cultivated plants. Also encompassed are cultivated plants transformed with the novel gene, food products made from the transformed cultivated plants, and methods for making such plants and food products.
