Embodiments include the seeds of soybean 3616793, the plants of soybean 3616793, to plant parts of soybean 3616793, and methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing soybean 3616793 with itself or with another soybean variety. Embodiments include methods for producing a soybean plant containing in its genetic material one or more genes or transgenes and the transgenic soybean plants and plant parts produced by those methods. Embodiments also relate to soybean cultivars, breeding cultivars, plant parts, and cells derived from soybean 3616793, methods for producing other soybean cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from soybean 3616793, and the soybean plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. Embodiments further include hybrid soybean seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing 3616793 with another soybean cultivar.
Independent Claims:
1. A plant or a seed of soybean cultivar 3616793, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar is deposited under NCMA No. ______.
9. A method of producing a plant derived from soybean cultivar 3616793, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar is deposited under NCMA No. ______, comprising an added desired trait, wherein the method comprises introducing at least one nucleic acid sequence conferring the desired trait to said plant.
14. A method of introducing a desired trait into soybean cultivar 3616793, wherein the method comprises: (a) crossing a 3616793 plant, wherein a sample of seed is deposited under NCMA No. ______, with a plant of another soybean cultivar having a desired trait to produce progeny plants; (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants; (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 3616793 plant to produce backcross progeny plants; (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) a sufficient number of times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and essentially all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean cultivar 3616793.

*Non Final Action Mailed*
Applicants: RS BioTherapeutics, Inc.
Abstract: The unique annual herbaceous Cannabis plant variety ‘RSBT1BRM is provided.
Independent Claims:
1. A new and distinct variety of Cannabis plant named ‘RSBT1BRM’, as illustrated and described herein.
HYDRANGEA MACROPHYLLA 'HYD15'
*Notice of Allowance Mailed*
Inventor: Peter Fotinos
Abstract: A new hydrangea macrophylla pink or blue with attractive flower. This variety propagates from soft wood cuttings and is stable in subsequent generations and is used for year-round production in greenhouse for flowering pot plant production.
Independent Claims:
1. A new and distinct variety of Hydrangea plant named ‘HYD15’, will develop flowers year-round under short day conditions at a temperature of 52 F. to over 90 F. (11. C. to 32 C.), the variety is remontant, which means it will bloom again after the first flower is cut off without vernalization.
