Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of tomato line FDS 15-2118. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of tomato line FDS 15-2118, and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another tomato 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 fruit and gametes of such plants.
Claims29
A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line FDS 15-2118, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10607.
A seed comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line FDR 15-2081, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10607.
A method of introducing a desired trait into a tomato line comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of line FDS 15-2118 with a second tomato 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-10607;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of line FDS 15-2118 to produce backcross progeny;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato line FDS 15-2118;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprises the desired trait and otherwise comprises essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line FDS 15-2118.
A method of producing a plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a plant of line FDS 15-2118, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10607.
A plant of tomato line FDS 15-2118 further comprising a single locus conversion, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10607, wherein said plant otherwise comprises essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line FDS 15-2118.
A method for producing a seed of a plant derived from line FDS 15-2118 comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a tomato plant of line FDS 15-2118 with itself or a second tomato plant;
- a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10607;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a line FDS 15-2118-derived tomato plant to form.
