Abstract
An inbred broccoli line, designated GKO-1 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred broccoli line GKO-1, to the plants of inbred broccoli line GKO-1, and to methods for producing a broccoli plant produced by crossing the inbred line GKO-1 with itself or another broccoli line. The invention further relates to hybrid broccoli seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line GKO-1 with another broccoli line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a broccoli 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 broccoli lines derived from the inbred GKO-1.
Claims33
A seed of inbred broccoli line designated GKO-1, wherein a representative sample of seed of said broccoli line was deposited under NCIMB No. 41436.
A method of introducing a desired trait into inbred broccoli line GKO-1 wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing a GKO-1 plant, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under NCIMB No. 41436, with a plant of another broccoli line 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 GKO-1 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of broccoli line GKO-1 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 broccoli line GKO-1 listed in Table 1.
A hybrid broccoli seed designated FBC0515 having inbred broccoli line GKO-1 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB No. 41437.
A hybrid broccoli seed designated FBC4420 having inbred broccoli line GKO-1 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB No. 41439.
A hybrid broccoli seed designated FBC2519 having inbred broccoli line GKO-1 as a parental line, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid was deposited under NCIMB No. 41438.
