Abstract
A novel squash inbred line, designated KAZA121, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of squash inbred line KAZA121, to the plants of squash inbred line KAZA121 and to methods for producing a squash plant by crossing the squash inbred line KAZA121 with itself or another squash line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a squash 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 squash lines derived from the squash inbred line KAZA121.
Claims26
A seed of inbred squash line designated KAZA121, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41843.
A squash plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred line KAZA121, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41843.
A method for producing inbred squash line KAZA121, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41843, wherein the method comprises:
- a) planting a collection of seed comprising seed of a hybrid, one of whose parents is inbred line KAZA121, said collection also comprising seed of said inbred;
- b) growing plants from said collection of seed;
- c) identifying the plants having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred squash line KAZA121 as inbred parent plants;
- d) controlling pollination of said inbred parent plants in a manner which preserves the homozygosity of said inbred parent plant;
- and
- e) harvesting the resultant seed.
A method of introducing a desired trait into squash inbred line KAZA121, said method comprising:
- (a) crossing a squash inbred line KAZA121 plant grown from squash inbred line KAZA121 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed has been deposited under NCIMB No. 41843, with another squash plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of insect resistance, disease resistance, water stress tolerance, heat tolerance, improved shelf life, delayed senescence, and improved nutritional quality;
- (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 squash inbred line KAZA121 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and all the physiological and morphological characteristics of squash inbred line KAZA121 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 the physiological and morphological characteristics of squash inbred line KAZA121 listed in Table 1.
