Claims25
A seed of artichoke variety NUN 4006 AR, wherein a representative sample of said seed has been deposited under Accession Number PTA 10654.
A plant of artichoke variety NUN 4006 AR, or a part thereof, wherein a representative sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under Accession Number PTA 10654.
An Essentially Derived Variety of NUN 4006 AR having one, two or three physiological and/or morphological characteristics which are different from those of NUN 4006 AR and which otherwise has all the physiological and morphological characteristics of NUN 4006 AR, wherein a representative sample of seed of variety NUN 4006 AR has been deposited under Accession Number PTA 10654.
A method of producing plants, or a part thereof, of variety NUN 4006 AR comprising vegetative propagation of variety NUN 4006 AR, wherein a representative sample of seed variety NUN 4006 AR has been deposited under Accession Number PTA 10654.
A vegetative propagated plant of variety NUN 4006 AR, or a part thereof, having all the morphological and physiological characteristics of NUN 4006 AR when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seed of variety NUN 4006 AR has been deposited under Accession Number PTA 10654.
A method of introducing a single locus conversion into NUN 4006 AR comprising
- (a) crossing a plant of variety NUN 4006 AR, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under Accession Number PTA 10654, with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the single locus to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with at least a first plant of NUN 4006 AR to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and physiological and morphological characteristics of NUN 4006 AR to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the single locus and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of NUN 4006 AR when grown in the same environmental conditions.
