A potato tuber, or a part of a tuber, of potato cultivar FL 2053, wherein a representative sample of tubers was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7459.
A method of introducing a desired trait into potato cultivar FL 2053 wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing an FL 2053 plant, wherein a representative sample of tubers was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7459, with a plant of another potato cultivar that comprises a desired trait to produce progeny plants wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and resistance to bacterial disease, fungal disease or viral disease;
- (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the FL 2053 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of potato cultivar FL 2053 listed in Table 1;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of potato cultivar FL 2053 listed in Table 1.
