Abstract
The present invention relates to new, distinct and stable Eustoma cultivars of which exhibit reduced apical dominance. The Eustoma cultivars of the present invention contain an allele which produces a plant having a reduced apical dominance.
Claims18
A Eustoma plant having reduced apical dominance.
A Eustoma plant having reduced apical dominance, wherein the plant has a pedigree which includes the plant 752 or derivatives thereof.
Eustoma seed containing an allele for reduced apical dominance.
Eustoma seed containing an allele for reduced apical dominance, wherein the seed has a pedigree which includes the plant 752 or derivatives thereof.
A reduced apical dominance allele which when expressed in a Eustoma plant produces a reduced apical dominant phenotype in said plant.
A process for identifying a Eustoma plant, the genome of which contains an allele for reduced apical dominance, the process comprising the steps of:
- crossing a Eustoma plant to be tested with a Eustoma plant the genome of which contains an allele for reduced apical dominance;
- recovering the resulting F1 hybrid Eustoma seed;
- planting the F1 hybrid Eustoma seed and regenerating into plants;
- and
- selecting Eustoma plants the genome of which contains an allele for reduced apical dominance and which exhibit a reduced apical dominance phenotype.
Viable Eustoma seeds and plants and succeeding generations thereof grown from seeds deposited under ATCC Accession number 203392 and Eustoma seeds and plants to which the allele for reduced apical dominance is transferred from the deposited seeds in succeeding generations thereof.
