Abstract
The present invention relates to a hybrid Swiss chard seed designated 69-104 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Swiss chard plant produced by growing the 69-104 RZ seed, which plant exhibits a combination of traits including green leaves with a reddish purple petiole and midrib, slow growing, resistance to downy mildew (Peronospora farinosa f sp. betae), a dark to very dark green leaf coloring and strongly blistered leaf blades. The invention further relates to methods for producing the Swiss chard cultivar, represented by hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ.
Claims25
A seed of hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ, a sample of seed of said hybrid variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 42561.
A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ comprising the steps of:
- (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ, representative seed of said hybrid Swiss chard variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 42561;
- and (b) producing a rooted plant from said tissue.
A method for producing a seed of a hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ-derived Swiss chard plant comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a Swiss chard plant of hybrid variety 69-104 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 42561, with a second Swiss chard plant or with itself;
- and (b) allowing seed of a hybrid variety 69-104 RZ-derived Swiss chard plant to form.
A method of producing a plant of Swiss chard hybrid variety 69-104 RZ comprising at least one new trait, the method comprising introducing a mutation or transgene conferring the at least one new trait into a plant of hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 42561.
A method of determining the genotype of a plant of hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ, representative seed of which has been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 42561, or a first generation progeny thereof, comprising obtaining a sample of nucleic acids from said plant and comparing said nucleic acids to a sample of nucleic acids obtained from a reference plant, and detecting a plurality of polymorphisms between the two nucleic acid samples, wherein the plurality of polymorphisms are indicative of hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ and/or give rise to the expression of any one or more, or all, of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid Swiss chard variety 69-104 RZ.
A plant of Swiss chard hybrid variety 69-104 RZ comprising a transgene conferring a desired trait, a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 42561.
