Abstract
Several Proso cultivars are disclosed having improved yields. The technology relates to the seeds, plants, and plant parts of Proso cultivars; and further provides methods for producing progeny of Proso cultivars. The technology also relates to Proso cultivars or breeding cultivars, and plant parts derived from Proso cultivars; and to methods for producing other Proso cultivars, lines, or plant parts derived from Proso cultivars, and to the Proso plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The technology further relates to hybrid Proso seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing improved-yield Proso cultivars with another Proso cultivar.
Claims16
A plant of Proso cultivar DLG240, representative seed of said Proso cultivar having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127711.
A method of introducing a locus conversion into a Proso plant, said method comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of Proso cultivar DLG240 with a second plant comprising a desired locus to produce F1 progeny plants, representative seed of said Proso cultivar DLG240 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127711;
- (b) selecting at least a first progeny plant from step (a) that comprises the locus to produce a selected progeny plant;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plant from step (b) with a plant of Proso cultivar DLG240 to produce at least a first backcross progeny plant that comprises the locus;
- and (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) with the first backcross progeny plant produced from step (c) used in place of the first progeny plant of step (b) during said repeating, wherein steps (b) and (c) are repeated until at least a backcross progeny plant is produced comprising the locus conversion.
A Proso plant of Proso cultivar DLG240, further comprising a locus conversion, wherein the plant comprises the locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of Proso cultivar DLG240, representative seed of Proso cultivar DLG240 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127711.
