Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of squash hybrid EX 04858026 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of squash hybrid EX 04858026 and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a squash plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another squash 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.
Claims28
A squash plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of squash line LEB-EH-08-874, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12119.
A seed comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of squash line LEB-EH-08-874, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12119.
A method of introducing a desired trait into a squash line, said method comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of line LEB-EH-08-874, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12119, with a second squash plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) crossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of line LEB-EH-08-874 to produce backcross progeny;
- and
- (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of line LEB-EH-08-874, when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A method of producing a plant comprising a transgene, the method comprising introducing a transgene into a plant of squash hybrid EX 04858026 or squash line LEB-EH-08-874, a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12046 and ATCC Accession No. PTA-12119, respectively.
A plant produced by introducing a transgene into a plant of squash hybrid EX 04858026 or squash line LEB-EH-08-874, a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12046 and ATCC Accession No. PTA-12119, respectively, wherein the plant comprises the transgene and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of squash hybrid EX 04858026 or squash line LEB-EH-08-874, when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A plant produced by introducing a single locus conversion into a plant of squash hybrid EX 04858026 or squash line LEB-EH-08-874, a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12046 and ATCC Accession No. PTA-12119, respectively, wherein the plant comprises the single locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of squash hybrid EX 04858026 or squash line LEB-EH-08-874, when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A method for producing a seed of a plant derived from hybrid EX 04858026 or line LEB-EH-08-874, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a squash plant of hybrid EX 04858026 or line LEB-EH-08-874 with a second squash plant;
- a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12046 and ATCC Accession No. PTA-12119, respectively;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a hybrid EX 04858026 or line LEB-EH-08-874-derived squash plant to form.
