Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of melon hybrid SV5133MG and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SV5133MG and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a melon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another melon plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.
Claims32
A melon plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of melon line GALHK12-0024MO or melon line GALHK12-0044AN, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121632 and ATCC Accession Number PTA-121633, respectively.
A melon seed comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of melon line GALHK12-0024MO or melon line GALHK12-0044AN, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121632 and ATCC Accession Number PTA-121633, respectively.
A method of introducing a desired trait into a melon line comprising:
- (a) utilizing as a recurrent parent a plant of either melon line GALHK12-0024MO or melon line GALHK12-0044AN, by crossing a plant of melon line GALHK12-0024MO or melon line GALHK12-0044AN with a second donor melon plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121632, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-121633, respectively;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of the same melon line used as the recurrent parent in step (a), to produce backcross progeny;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of the recurrent parent melon line used in step (a);
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait, and otherwise comprise essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the recurrent parent melon line used in step (a).
A method of producing a melon plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a plant of melon hybrid SV5133MG, melon line GALHK12-0024MO or melon line GALHK12-0044AN, a sample of seed of said hybrid and lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121630, ATCC Accession Number PTA-121632, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-121633, respectively.
A method for producing a seed of a melon plant derived from at least one of melon hybrid SV5133MG, melon line GALHK12-0024MO or melon line GALHK12-0044AN comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a melon plant of hybrid SV5133MG, line GALHK12-0024MO or line GALHK12-0044AN with itself or a second melon plant;
- a sample of seed of said hybrid and lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121630, ATCC Accession Number PTA-121632, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-121633, respectively;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a hybrid SV5133MG, line GALHK12-0024MO or line GALHK12-0044AN-derived melon plant to form.
A method of producing a seed of a hybrid SV5133MG, line GALHK12-0024MO or line GALHK12-0044AN-derived melon plant comprising the steps of:
- (a) producing a hybrid SV5133MG, line GALHK12-0024MO or line GALHK12-0044AN-derived melon plant from a seed produced by crossing a melon plant of hybrid SV5133MG, line GALHK12-0024MO or line GALHK12-0044AN with itself or a second melon plant, a sample of seed of said hybrid and lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121630, ATCC Accession Number PTA-121632, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-121633, respectively;
- and
- (b) crossing the hybrid SV5133MG, line GALHK12-0024MO or line GALHK12-0044AN-derived melon plant with itself or a different melon plant to obtain a seed of a further hybrid SV5133MG, line GALHK12-0024MO or line GALHK12-0044AN-derived melon plant.
