Abstract
The present invention relates to an inbred sunflower line, designated ON7321R. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred sunflower line ON7321R, to the plants of inbred sunflower line ON7321R and to the methods for producing a sunflower plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line ON7321R with itself or another sunflower line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower 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 sunflower lines derived from the inbred ON7321R.
Claims24
A seed of sunflower inbred line designated ON7321R, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-13589.
A method of introducing a desired trait into sunflower inbred line ON7321R, wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing ON7321R plants grown from ON7321R seed representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-13589, with plants of another sunflower line that comprise a desired trait to produce progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance and oil content;
- (b) selecting progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the ON7321R plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of sunflower inbred line ON7321R to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three 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 sunflower inbred line ON7321R listed in Table 1.
