Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of cucumber hybrid PX04914104 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of cucumber hybrid PX04914104 and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a cucumber plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another cucumber plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.
Claims28
A seed of the hybrid cucumber PX04914104, produced by crossing a first plant of variety API74-200MO*HP200 with a second plant of variety API45-1197MO, wherein representative seed of said varieties API74-200MO*HP200 and API45-1197MO have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-9754 and PTA-9764, respectively.
A seed of the hybrid cucumber PX04914104, produced by crossing a first plant of variety API74-200MO*HP200 with a second plant of variety API45-1197MO, wherein representative seed of said varieties API74-200MO*HP200 and API45-1197MO have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-9754 and PTA-9764, respectively, wherein one or both of the first and second plants further comprises a transgene.
A seed of the hybrid cucumber PX04914104, produced by crossing a first plant of variety API74-200MO*HP200 with a second plant of variety API45-1197MO, wherein representative seed of said varieties API74-200MO*HP200 and API45-1197MO have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-9754 and PTA-9764, respectively, wherein one or both of the first and second plants comprises a single locus conversion.
A method of producing hybrid cucumber seed comprising crossing a plant of variety API74-200MO*HP200 with a plant of variety API45-1197MO, wherein representative seed of variety API74-200MO*HP200 and variety API45-1197MO have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-9754 and PTA-9764, respectively.
A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid cucumber PX04914104 comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a first plant of a first inbred cucumber variety selected from the group consisting of variety API74-200MO*HP200 and variety API45-1197MO with another cucumber plant that heritably carries the trait to produce progeny plants, at least some of which heritably carry the trait, wherein representative samples of seed of variety API74-200MO*HP200 and variety API45-1197MO have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-9754 and PTA-9764, respectively;
- (b) selecting progeny plants that heritably carry the trait;
- (c) crossing selected progeny plants with another plant of the first inbred cucumber variety to produce next-generation progeny plants at least some of which heritably carry the trait;
- (d) selecting next-generation progeny plants that heritably carry the trait and exhibit morphological and physiological characteristics of the first inbred cucumber variety;
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce at least a first selected progeny plant that heritably carries the trait and exhibits essentially all of the morphological and physical characteristics of the inbred cucumber variety;
- and
- (f) crossing a progeny plant of step (e) with a plant of the other inbred cucumber variety of the group consisting of API74-200MO*HP200 and API45-1197MO to produce a plant comprising the trait and essentially all of the characteristics of hybrid cucumber PX04914104 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A method of introducing a desired trait into hybrid cucumber PX04914104 comprising the steps of:
- (a) introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a variety selected from the group consisting of API74-200MO*HP200 and API45-1197MO to produce a transgenic plant heritably carrying the trait;
- and
- (b) crossing the transgenic plant or an isogenic progeny plant thereof with a plant of the other inbred cucumber variety to produce seed of the hybrid cucumber PX04914104 that heritably carries and expresses the transgene and otherwise has essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid cucumber PX04914104 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
