Abstract
The present invention relates to a Eruca sativa seed designated 88-208 RZ, which exhibits a combination of traits including downy mildew resistance, dark green colored leaves, short to medium leaf length and narrow to medium leaf width, medium to strong leaf division and medium secondary leaf lobing, and medium late to late flowering. The present invention also relates to a Eruca sativa plant produced by growing the 88-208 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the salad rocket cultivar, represented by salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ.
Claims22
A seed of salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43991.
A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ comprising (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of salad rocket 88-208 RZ, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43991, and (b) producing a rooted plant from said tissue.
A method for producing a seed of a 88-208 RZ-derived salad rocket plant comprising (a) crossing a plant of salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43991, with a second salad rocket plant, and (b) whereby seed of a 88-208 RZ-derived salad rocket plant forms is produced.
A method of introducing at least one new trait into a plant of salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ, a representative sample of seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43991, with a second salad rocket plant that comprises 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 salad rocket variety 88-208 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 salad rocket plant of variety 88-208 RZ comprising at least one new trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant of salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ, when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A method of producing a plant of salad rocket variety 88-208 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 salad rocket variety 88-208 RZ, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43991.
