## Abstract

The invention provides seed and plants of spinach hybrid RX 06682141 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of spinach hybrid RX 06682141 and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a spinach plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another spinach 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 leaf and gametes of such plants.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A seed of spinach hybrid RX 06682141, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A plant grown from the seed of claim 1.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A plant part of the plant of claim 2.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The plant part of claim 3, wherein said part is selected from the group consisting of a fruit, an ovule, pollen, a leaf, or a cell.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

A spinach plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the spinach plant of claim 2.

### Claim 6

A tissue culture of regenerable cells of spinach hybrid RX 06682141, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The tissue culture according to claim 6, comprising cells or protoplasts from a plant part selected from the group consisting of embryos, meristems, cotyledons, pollen, leaves, anthers, roots, root tips, pistil, flower, seed and stalks.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

A spinach plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 6, wherein the regenerated plant expresses all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of spinach hybrid RX 06682141, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

A method of producing spinach seed, comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with itself or a second spinach plant.

### Claim 10

A method for producing a seed of a hybrid RX 06682141-derived spinach plant comprising the steps of:
(a) crossing a spinach plant of hybrid RX 06682141, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505, with a second spinach plant; and
(b) allowing seed of a RX 06682141-derived spinach plant to form.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising the steps of:
(c) selfing the plant grown from said RX 06682141-derived spinach seed or crossing it to a second spinach plant to yield additional RX 06682141-derived spinach seed;
(d) growing said additional RX 06682141-derived spinach seed of step (c) to yield additional RX 06682141-derived spinach plants; and
(e) repeating the steps of (c) and (d) to generate further RX 06682141-derived spinach plants.

### Claim 12

A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of spinach hybrid RX 06682141 comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of spinach hybrid RX 06682141, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505;
(b) cultivating said tissue to obtain proliferated shoots; and
(c) rooting said proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, further comprising growing plants from said rooted plantlets.

### Claim 14

A method of producing a plant of spinach hybrid variety RX 06682141 comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into spinach hybrid RX 06682141, whereby a plant of spinach hybrid RX 06682141 comprising an added desired trait is produced, a sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505.

### Claim 15

A plant of spinach hybrid variety RX 06682141 comprising a transgene conferring a desired trait, a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505.

### Claim 16

A hybrid spinach plant that exhibits all of the traits of spinach hybrid RX 06682141, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12505.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

A seed that produces the plant of claim 15.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

A seed that produces the plant of claim 16.

### Claim 19 (depends on 1)

A method of producing a spinach plant part comprising:
(a) obtaining the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant has been cultivated to maturity; and
(b) collecting at least a first plant part from the plant.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The method of claim 19, wherein the plant part comprises a leaf.
