A new and distinct variety ofplant denominated 'HONEY MICHELL' which is with varied floral colors of white, whitish, yellow and yellowish, compared to the parent variety, i.e. HONEY ANGEL. HONEY ANGEL has yellow flowers. The height of HONEY MICHELL is about &#x2154; to half to the height of the parent variety, HONEY ANGEL. Therefore, the generated new variety is suitable for the pot plant usage in the oncidium flower market. Compared to other similar dwarf oncidium hybrid orchids, which are planted and sold as ornamental pot orchids, such as'Twinkle' or'Sepia', they are only similar in plant height, around 50&#x2dc;70 cm height. The floret size is tiny and floret number is crowded with&#x2018;Twinkle&#x2019;. In contrast, the floret size of &#x2018;HONEY MICHELL&#x2019; is bigger (3&#x2dc;5 cm width), and floret number is relatively few.

Orchid named 'HONEY MICHELL'

The invention features sporamin promoters, including the promoter of thesporamin A gene. The promoter directs gene expression in tubers and responds in aerial structures to wounding, pathogens, and other environmental insults.

Sporamin promoter and uses thereof

The present invention provides for the use of a sweet potato sporamin gene in insect-resistance, in which the gene is inserted into an appropriate vector, then the gene is transformed into plants to enhance the plant's insect resistance, for the purpose of controlling pests.
