An onion plant of variety NUN 3010, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number 42662.
A seed of variety NUN 3010, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number 42662.
A method of introducing a desired trait into an onion variety comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of variety NUN 3010, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number 42662 with a second onion plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) optionally selfing the F1 progeny one or more times to produce F2, F3 or further generation selfing progeny;
- (d) crossing the selected F1 progeny or the selfing progeny with a plant of variety NUN 3010 to produce backcross progeny;
- (e) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and essentially all the physiological and morphological characteristic of onion variety NUN 3010;
- and
- optionally
- (f) repeating steps (d) and (e) one or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait.
