Abstract
The present invention relates to a Diplotaxis tenuifolia seed designated 89-004 RZ, which exhibits a combination of traits including downy mildew resistance, medium green leaves, medium leaf division and a very short plant height at flowering stage. The present invention also relates to a Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant produced by growing the 89-004 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the wild rocket cultivar, represented by wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ.
Claims34
A seed of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ, a sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42802.
A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ comprising (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of wild rocket 89-004 RZ, a sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42802, and (b) producing a rooted plant from said tissue, and (c) optionally growing plants from the rooted plantlets.
A method for producing a seed of a 89-004 RZ-derived wild rocket plant comprising (a) crossing a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ, a sample of seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42802, with a second wild rocket plant, and (b) whereby seed of a 89-004 RZ-derived wild rocket plant forms.
A method of introducing at least one new trait into a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ, a sample of seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42802, with a second wild rocket plant that comprises the at least one new trait to produce progeny seed;
- (b) harvesting and planting the progeny seed to produce at least one progeny plant of a subsequent generation, wherein the progeny plant comprises the at least one new trait;
- (c) crossing the progeny plant with a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ to produce backcross progeny seed;
- (d) harvesting and planting the backcross progeny seed to produce a backcross progeny plant;
- and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) for at least three additional generations to produce a wild rocket plant of variety 89-004 RZ comprising the at least one new trait and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ, when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A method of producing a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ comprising at least one new trait, the method comprising introducing a mutation or transgene conferring the at least one new trait into a plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42802.
A wild rocket plant designated 89-004 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42802, further comprising a transgene.
A method for producing progeny plant of wild rocket variety 89-004 RZ comprising crossing a plant designated 89-004 RZ with itself or with another lettuce plant, harvesting the resultant seed, and growing said seed, a sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42802.
