and (b) propagating a tomato plant from said tissue. ### Claim 11 (depends on 3) A method of introducing a trait into a tomato line, the method comprising: (a) crossing the plant of claim 3 with a donor plant that comprises a trait to produce F1 progeny; (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the trait; (c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of a recurrent parent tomato line to produce backcross progeny, wherein said recurrent parent tomato line is tomato line FIS-XM17-4473 or tomato line FIR-XM17-4474, and wherein the plant of the recurrent parent tomato line is of the same line used in the crossing in step (a); (d) selecting a backcross progeny comprising the trait and otherwise comprising the morphological and physiological characteristics of the recurrent parent tomato line used in step (b); and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 11, wherein said plant comprises the trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line FIS-XM17-4473 or tomato line FIR-XM17-4474. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) A method of producing a tomato plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 13, wherein said plant comprises the trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato hybrid DRTJ4056, tomato line FIS-XM17-4473, or tomato line FIR-XM17-4474, wherein said tomato hybrid DRTJ4056 comprises a first set of chromosomes and a second set of chromosomes, wherein said first set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of tomato line FIS-XM17-4473 and said second set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of tomato line FIR-XM17-4474, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202109081 and NCMA Accession No. 202109082, respectively. ### Claim 15 A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line FIS-XM17-4473 or tomato line FIR-XM17-4474, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202109081 and NCMA Accession No. 202109082, respectively, wherein said first set of chromosomes further comprises a transgene. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The plant of claim 15, wherein the transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 17 A single locus converted tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line FIS-XM17-4473 or tomato line FIR-XM17-4474, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202109081 and NCMA Accession No. 202109082, respectively, wherein said first set of chromosomes further comprises a single locus conversion. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The plant of claim 17, wherein the single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant, the method comprising the steps of: (a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a different tomato plant;
