Abstract
According to the disclosure, there is provided a novel lettuce cultivar, designated Lucky. Lucky is described as a lettuce cultivar with dark green thick leaves, large head size, strong tolerance to tip burn, short core length and round heads. This disclosure thus relates to the seeds of lettuce cultivar Lucky, to the plants of lettuce cultivar Lucky, to plant parts of lettuce cultivar Lucky, to methods for producing a lettuce cultivar by crossing the lettuce cultivar Lucky with another lettuce cultivar, and to methods for producing a lettuce cultivar containing in its genetic material one or more backcross conversion traits or transgenes and to the backcross conversion lettuce plants and plant parts produced by those methods.
Claims27
A seed of lettuce cultivar Lucky, wherein a representative sample of seed of said lettuce having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127244.
A lettuce plant having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Lucky when grown in the same environmental conditions, or a part or a plant cell thereof.
A method of introducing a desired trait into lettuce cultivar Lucky comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of lettuce cultivar Lucky grown from seed of lettuce cultivar Lucky, wherein a representative sample of seed has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127244, with another lettuce plant that comprises a desired trait to produce at least one F1 progeny plant, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of insect resistance, herbicide resistance, disease resistance, water stress tolerance, heat tolerance, improved shelf life, delayed shelf life, and improved nutritional quality;
- (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce at least one selected progeny plant;
- (c) crossing the at least one selected progeny plant with at least one plant of the lettuce cultivar Lucky to produce at least one backcross progeny plant;
- (d) selecting for at least one backcross progeny plant that has the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Lucky when grown in the same environmental conditions to produce at least one selected backcross progeny plant;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce at least one selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plant that comprises the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Lucky when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of lettuce cultivar Lucky, wherein the method comprises:
- (a) collecting a plant part capable of being propagated from a plant of lettuce cultivar Lucky, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127244;
- and (b) producing at least a first rooted plantlet or plant from said plant part.
