Abstract
A novel celery cultivar, designated ADS-2, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar ADS-2, to the plants of celery line ADS-2 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar ADS-2 with itself or another celery line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a celery 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 celery lines derived from the cultivar ADS-2.
Claims26
A seed of celery cultivar designated ADS-2, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7734.
A celery plant, or part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of celery cultivar ADS-2.
A method of introducing a desired trait into celery cultivar ADS-2 comprising:
- (a) crossing ADS-2 plants grown from ADS-2 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed of was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7734, with plants of another celery cultivar 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 and disease resistance;
- (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 ADS-2 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of celery cultivar ADS-2 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 celery cultivar ADS-2 listed in Table 1.
