Abstract
A novel celery cultivar, designated ADS-3, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar ADS-3, to the plants of celery line ADS-3 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar ADS-3 with itself or another celery line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a celery plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other celery lines derived from the cultivar ADS-3.
Claims27
Seed of celery line designated ADS-3, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______.
A celery plant, or part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the line ADS-3, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______.
A method of introducing a desired trait into celery line ADS-3 comprising:
- (a) crossing ADS-3 plants grown from ADS-3 seed, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______, with plants of another celery line that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance and disease resistance;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the ADS-3 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of celery line ADS-3 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of celery line ADS-3 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
