Abstract
The present invention relates to plants of a lettuce variety NUN 09055 LT (referred to as “MULTIRED 55”) and, seeds and progeny thereof. The invention further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant by traditional breeding methods. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes.
Claims21
A lettuce plant, designated NUN 09055, or part thereof, a representative sample of seeds of which having been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42206.
A seed designated NUN 09055, a representative sample of seeds having been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42206.
A progeny plant of lettuce variety designated NUN 09055 obtained by further breeding with said variety, wherein said progeny plant has essentially all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the variety designated NUN 09055 when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seeds of NUN 09055 has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42206.
An Essentially Derived Variety of NUN 09055 having one, two or three physiological and/or morphological characteristics which are different from those of NUN 09055 and which otherwise has essentially all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the lettuce plant designated NUN 09055, wherein a representative sample of seeds of NUN 09055 has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42206.
A method of introducing a single locus conversion into a lettuce plant designated NUN 09055 comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant designated NUN 09055 with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce a F1 progeny plant, wherein a representative sample of seeds of NUN 09055 has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42206.
- (b) optionally selfing said F1 progeny plant to produce a F2 progeny plant having said single locus;
- (c) crossing said F1 or F2 progeny plant of step (a) or step (b), respectively, with a plant of NUN 09055, to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and otherwise essentially all physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant designated NUN 09055;
- 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 essentially all physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant designated NUN 09055.
