Abstract
An inbred pumpkin line, designated ZYPMB24, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24, to the plants and plant parts of inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 and to methods for producing a pumpkin plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line ZYPMB24 with itself or another pumpkin line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a pumpkin 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 inbred pumpkin lines derived from the inbred ZYPMB24.
Claims41
A seed of inbred pumpkin line designated ZYPMB24, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under NCIMB 41420.
A pumpkin plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological charactoristics of the inbred line ZYPMB24 listed in Table 1.
A pumpkin plant, or a part thereof, having the physiological and morphological characteristics of the inbred line ZYPMB24, wherein a representative sample of seeds of said line was deposited under NCIMB 41420.
A method of introducing a desired trait into inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing the inbred line ZYPMB24 plants grown from the inbred line ZYPMB24 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under NCIMB 41420, with plants of another pumpkin line that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, male fertility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, increased sugar content, increased sweetness, increased flavor, improved ripening control, and improved salt tolerance[, and improved drought tolerance];
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected F1 progeny plants with the inbred line ZYPMB24 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 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 all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 listed in Table 1.
A hybrid pumpkin seed designated ZYPMB24*ZYD5B having inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB 41411.
A hybrid pumpkin seed designated ZYPMB24*P102 having inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB 41423.
A hybrid pumpkin seed designated ZYPMB24*B48B having inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB 41424.
A hybrid pumpkin seed designated ZYPMB24*G31 having inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB 41425.
A hybrid pumpkin seed designated ZYPMB24*G32 having inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB 41426.
A hybrid pumpkin seed designated ZYPMB24*G17B25C having inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB 41422.
A hybrid pumpkin seed designated ZYPMB24*B33B having inbred pumpkin line ZYPMB24 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB 41421.
