Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of tomato line CHI 15-2113, tomato line CHD 15-2114 and hybrid tomato variety BX 0154 3756. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of tomato line CHI 15-2113, tomato line CHD 15-2114 and hybrid tomato variety BX 0154 3756, and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing a plant of tomato line CHI 15-2113, tomato line CHD 15-2114 or hybrid tomato variety BX 0154 3756 with itself or with another tomato plant, such as a plant of another line or variety. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of tomato line CHI 15-2113, tomato line CHD 15-2114 or hybrid tomato variety BX 0154 3756, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of tomato line CHD 15-2114 comprising the steps of:
- (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of tomato line CHD 15-2114, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-9240;
- (b) cultivating said tissue to obtain proliferated shoots;
- and
- (c) rooting said proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets.
(canceled)
A method of introducing a desired trait into a tomato line comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of line CHD 15-2114, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-9240, with a second tomato plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) crossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of line CHD 15-2114 to produce backcross progeny;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristic of tomato line CHD 15-2114;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait.
A method of producing a plant comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into a plant of tomato line CHD 15-2114, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-9240.
(canceled)
A method for producing a seed of a line derived from tomato line CHD 15-2114 comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a tomato plant of line CHD 15-2114, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-9240, with a second tomato plant;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a line CHD 15-2114-derived tomato plant to form.
