The present invention relates to lettuce plants (L.) which may comprise a genetic determinant, which when homozygously present in a seed, provides the seed in an unprimed state with the capability to germinate at a high temperature, which genetic determinant is obtainable from a lettuce plant which may comprise said genetic determinant, representative seed which was deposited with the NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 41914, NCIMB 41915, NCIMB 41916, NCIMB 41917, NCIMB 41918, NCIMB 41919, NCIMB 41922, NCIMB 41923, NCIMB 41926, and NCIMB 42216.

High temperature germinating lettuce seeds

The present invention relates to lettuce plants (L.) which may comprise a genetic determinant, which when homozygous present in a seed, provides the seed in an unprimed state with the capability to germinate at a high temperature, which genetic determinant is obtainable from a lettuce plant which may comprise said genetic determinant, representative seed which was deposited with the NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 41914, NCIMB 41915, NCIMB 41916, NCIMB 41917, NCIMB 41918, NCIMB 41919, NCIMB 41922, NCIMB 41923, and NCIMB 41926.

Provided is a method for removing a liquid, in particular a supernatant, from a container with a sample, by creating an opening in a container with a sample consisting of solid constituents and a liquid, and subsequently centrifuging the container so as to cause the liquid to flow out of the container through the created opening. Also provided is a device for making a container suitable for use in the method.
