Abstract
A novel alfalfa variety designated 53V52 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing an alfalfa plant that comprise crossing alfalfa variety 53V52 with another alfalfa plant. Methods for producing an alfalfa plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into 53V52 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the alfalfa seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid alfalfa seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing alfalfa variety 53V52 or a trait conversion of 53V52 with another alfalfa line. Alfalfa lines derived from alfalfa variety 53V52, methods for producing other inbred alfalfa lines derived from alfalfa variety 53V52 and the alfalfa lines and their parts derived by the use of those methods.

Seed of an Alfalfa Variety 53V52, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10465.
A process of introducing a desired trait into Alfalfa Variety 53V52 comprising:
- (a) crossing 53V52 plants grown from 53V52 seed, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No:
- PTA-10465, with plants of another alfalfa variety that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, site-specific recombination, increased transformability, abiotic stress tolerance, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, altered phosphorus, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids and altered carbohydrates;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the 53V52 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of alfalfa variety 53V52 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 alfalfa variety 53V52.
