Abstract
A novel leaf lettuce cultivar, designated NIZ 44-4707, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707, to the plants of lettuce line NIZ 44-4707 and to methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing cultivar NIZ 44-4707 with itself or another lettuce line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other lettuce lines derived from the cultivar NIZ 44-4707.
Claims19
A seed of lettuce cultivar designated NIZ 44-4707, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under NCIMB No. 41399.
A lettuce plant, or a part thereof, having the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707 listed in Table 1.
A lettuce plant, or a part thereof, having the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar has been deposited was deposited under NCIMB No. 41399.
A method of introducing a desired trait into the lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707 comprising:
- (a) crossing a lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707 plant grown from lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under NCIMB No. 41399, with plants of another lettuce cultivar plant that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of [male sterility], herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance[, water stress tolerance, heat tolerance, improved shelf life] and delayed senescence;
- (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 lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- 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 the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar NIZ 44-4707 listed in Table 1.
