The subject of this paper are planar differential systems \[ \dot x= y+ F(x,y),\quad \dot y= -x+ G(x,y),\tag{1} \] where \(F\) and \(G\) consist of quadratic and cubic terms only. The question is, for which of these systems the origin is a center, or equivalently, there exists a first integral or an integrating factor in some neighborhood of \((0,0)\). After defining the notion of ``conditional particular integral, the authors prove: The origin is a center, if the first focal value \(g_3\) vanishes and if there exist four independent particular or conditional particular integrals. This result is applied to appropriate subclasses of (1). Among these, the authors determine those systems, for which three invariant straight lines and one conditional particular integral exist, and \(g_3= 0\) is satisfied, too. The systems obtained in this way, and hence having the center \((0,0)\), are described by some equations which have to be satisfied by the coefficients of \(F\) and \(G\).
