Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of zucchini hybrid SV9441YG and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of zucchini hybrid SV9441YG and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a zucchini plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another zucchini 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.
Claims32
A zucchini plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of zucchini line ZGN-166-8042, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13142.
A seed comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of zucchini line ZGN-166-8042, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13142.
A method of introducing a desired trait into a zucchini line, said method comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of line ZGN-166-8042 with a second zucchini 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-13142;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of line ZGN-166-8042 to produce backcross progeny;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait morphological characteristic of zucchini line ZGN 166 8042;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) 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 zucchini line ZGN-166-8042.
A method of producing a plant comprising an added trait, said method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a plant of hybrid SV9441YG, or line ZGN-166-8042, a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13239, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-13142, respectively.
A plant produced by introducing a single locus conversion into a plant of zucchini line ZGN-166-8042, wherein the converted plant comprises the single locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of zucchini line ZGN-166-8042, a sample of seed of zucchini line ZGN-166-8042 having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13142.
A method for producing a seed of a plant derived from at least one of hybrid SV9441YG, or line ZGN-166-8042, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a zucchini plant of hybrid SV9441YG, or line ZGN-166-8042 with itself or a second zucchini plant;
- a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13239, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-13142, respectively;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a hybrid SV9441YG, or line ZGN-166-8042-derived zucchini plant to form.
