Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of spinach hybrid RX 06691714 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of spinach hybrid RX 06691714 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.
Claims35
A spinach plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of spinach line SMB66-1143, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12486.
A seed comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of spinach line SMB66-1143, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12486.
A method of introducing a desired trait into a spinach line comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of line SMB66-1143 with a second spinach plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12486;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of line SMB66-1143 to produce backcross progeny;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristic of spinach line SMB66-1143;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait.
A method of producing a plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a plant of hybrid RX 06691714, or line SMB66-1143, a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12504, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-12486, respectively.
A method for producing a seed of a plant derived from at least one of hybrid RX 06691714, or line SMB66-1143 comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a spinach plant of hybrid RX 06691714, or line SMB66-1143 with itself or a second spinach plant;
- a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12504, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-12486, respectively;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a hybrid RX 06691714, or line SMB66-1143-derived spinach plant to form.
A method of producing a plant of spinach hybrid RX 06691714 comprising a single locus conversion, the method comprising crossing a plant of line SSB 66-1129F with a plant of line SMB66-1143, wherein at least one of said lines comprises a single locus conversion, a sample of seed of said lines SSB 66-1129F and SMB66-1143 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12019 and ATCC Accession Number PTA-12486, respectively.
