The disclosure relates toplants comprising a double-flowering characteristic and a dwarf growth characteristic, methods for generating said plants, and molecular markers corresponding to the double-flowering and dwarf growth traits.

Double-flowering dwarf

The disclosure relates to a method for the generation of plants, such as, having a dysfunctional glutathione S-transferase (GST), and the seeds, plant parts or plant cells derived therefrom. The disclosure further relates to a molecular marker capable of identifying a dysfunctional GST gene, to isolated DNA encoding such a dysfunctional GST gene and to the use of such DNA for the preparation of a molecular marker and for use in methods of targeted mutagenesis to inactivate the GST gene to generate plants with a white foliage phenotype.

plants comprising spotted flower color patterns are disclosed.plants comprising spotted flower color patterns in combination with other flower patterns are also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of breeding with theplants having the novel spotted flower color pattern to provide new, distinct and stableplants having flowers with a spotted flower color pattern.

Petunia plants having a spotted flower color pattern

plants comprising at least one dominant allele conferring a novel spotted flower color pattern are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of breeding with theplants having the novel spotted flower color pattern to provide new, distinct and stableplants having flowers with a unique spotted flower color pattern. This spotted flower color pattern has not been observed in anyknown species.

Petunia plants having a unique flower color pattern

A method for cultivating a plurality of young plants of different species or variety to form a group of young plants which can be handled as a unit. The method includes providing a plurality of propagation pots, each containing a substrate, which allow roots that form in a propagation pot to grow out at the sides, loading at least one growing container with the plurality of propagation pots such that the propagation pots arranged in each growing container contact one another along a portion of their lateral peripheral surface, introducing at least one cutting or seed into each propagation pot, and allowing roots to form in the propagation pots of each growing container until roots emerging from the sides of the propagation pots have formed a network of roots binding the propagation pots together as a cluster of propagation pots.

Method for the cultivation of a plurality of young plants which differ in terms of species or variety to form a group of young plants which can be handled as a unit

The present invention relates to anandplant, seed, variety, and hybrid. Another aspect of the present invention relates to anandplant having a mutant allele designated KLEDF which results in an altered flower phenotype. The invention also relates to crossingandplants containing the KLEDF mutant allele with otherandplants lacking the KLEDF mutant allele to produce intergeneric and interspecific hybrids. This invention further relates to specific lines ofvarieties exhibiting the altered-flowering phenotype. Furthermore, the invention relates to pollen, seed, and sexual, as well as asexual progeny of such plants with altered flowers. In addition, the invention relates to methods for propagating said plants and to uses of said plants.

The instant invention relates to an altered flower shape in plants belonging to the generaand, which is induced by a mutant allele, as well as to the method of breedingandplants having this altered flower shape.

A method for breeding double flowersp. plants using controlled crosses of selected parent plants is disclosed. The invention additionally relates to methods for breeding double flowerplants using anther culture and induced mutation techniques. Finally, the invention relates to newplants produced by the described methods and characterized by their unique double flowers.
