## Abstract

The invention provides seed and plants of tomato hybrid DR0603TC and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid DR0603TC and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another tomato 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.

The plant of claim 1, which is a hybrid.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The seed of claim 2, which is an inbred.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The seed of claim 2, which is a hybrid.

### Claim at position 7

7-9. (canceled)

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A plant part of the plant of claim 1.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The plant part of claim 10, further defined as a leaf, an ovule, pollen, a fruit, or a cell.

### Claim 12

(canceled)

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 1, said cells comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line CHI-199-CALM, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121561.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The tissue culture according to claim 13, comprising cells or protoplasts from a plant part selected from the group consisting of embryos, meristems, cotyledons, pollen, leaves, anthers, roots, root tips, pistil, flower, seed and stalks.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

A tomato plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 13, wherein said plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line CHI-199-CALM, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121561.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

A method of vegetatively propagating the tomato plant of claim 1 comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from the plant according to claim 1;
(b) cultivating said tissue to obtain proliferated shoots; and
(c) rooting said proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, further comprising growing at least a first tomato plant from said rooted plantlets.

### Claim 18

A method of introducing a desired trait into a tomato line comprising:
(a) crossing a plant of tomato line CHI-199-CALM with a donor tomato plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121561;
(b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
(c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of tomato line CHI-199-CALM, to produce backcross progeny;
(d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait; and
(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprises the desired trait, and otherwise comprises essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line CHI-199-CALM.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 18.

### Claim 20

A method of producing a tomato plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing by transformation a transgene conferring the trait into a plant of tomato line CHI-199-CALM, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121561.

### Claim 21 (depends on 20)

A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 20.

### Claim 22

A plant of tomato line CHI-199-CALM, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121561, further comprising a transgene, wherein said plant otherwise comprises essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line CHI-199-CALM.

### Claim 23 (depends on 22)

The plant of claim 22, wherein the transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism.

### Claim 24

A plant of tomato line CHI-199-CALM, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121561, further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein said plant otherwise comprises essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line CHI-199-CALM.

### Claim 25 (depends on 24)

The plant of claim 24, wherein the single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism.

### Claim 26

A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant derived from tomato line CHI-199-CALM comprising the steps of:
(a) crossing a tomato plant of line CHI-199-CALM with itself or a second tomato plant; a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121561; and
(b) allowing seed of a line CHI-199-CALM-derived tomato plant to form.

### Claim 27 (depends on 26)

The method of claim 26, further comprising the steps of:
