Abstract
The present invention is directed to the use of a Apelawa variety of quinoa in the production of cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants and seeds useful in breeding programs for high-yield quinoa hybrids. More particularly, the present invention is directed to the use of cytoplasmic male sterile plants of the Apelawa variety of quinoa to produce plants and seeds for lines of quinoa varieties having male sterile cytoplasm; to cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants; quinoa seeds for cytoplasmic male sterile plants; and methods of producing cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants and seeds to create a source of cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants. A quinoa seed having male sterile cytoplasm and assigned ATCC accession no. 75154 is specifically disclosed.
Claims13
A quinoa seed of the variety Apelawa having male sterile cytoplasm and assigned ATCC accession no. 75154.
A cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa progeny plant of a quinoa plant having Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm wherein said progeny plant has Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm derived from a plant produced from a quinoa seed assigned ATCC accession no. 75154.
A method for producing a cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa progeny plant comprising:
- (a) identifying a female designated quinoa plant having Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm wherein said Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm is derived from a plant produced from a quinoa seed assigned ATCC accession no. 75154;
- and
- (b) transferring said Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm to a progeny quinoa plant, wherein said transferring is by pollination;
- to produce a progeny plant which is a cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plant.
A hybrid quinoa plant having Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm wherein said Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm is derived from a female-designated cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plant produced from a quinoa seed assigned ATCC accession no. 75154.
A hybrid quinoa seed having Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm wherein said Apelawa male sterile cytoplasm is derived from a female designated cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plant produced from a quinoa seed assigned ATCC accession no. 75154.
