Abstract
Novel lettuce cultivar, designated MOJITO, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of lettuce cultivar MOJITO, to the plants of lettuce line MOJITO and to methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing the cultivar MOJITO with itself or another lettuce line, respectively. The invention further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other lettuce lines derived from the cultivar MOJITO.
Claims22
A seed of lettuce cultivar designated MOJITO, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar has been deposited under NCIMB No. 42581.
A lettuce plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar MOJITO listed in Table 4.
A lettuce plant, or a part thereof, having the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar MOJITO, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar has been deposited under NCIMB No. 42581.
A method of introducing a desired trait into lettuce cultivar MOJITO comprising:
- (a) crossing a lettuce cultivar MOJITO plant grown from lettuce cultivar MOJITO seed, wherein a representative sample of seed has been deposited under NCIMB No. 42581, with another lettuce plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of insect resistance, disease resistance, water stress tolerance, heat tolerance, improved shelf life, delayed senescence, and improved nutritional quality;
- (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the lettuce cultivar MOJITO plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar MOJITO listed in Table 4 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar MOJITO listed in Table 4.
