Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of the watermelon line designated TCSEJ12-2622. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, and to methods for producing a watermelon plant produced by crossing a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622 with itself or with another watermelon plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, including the fruits and gametes of such plants.
Claims21
A seed of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, of representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123264.
A plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, of representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123264.
A tissue culture of regenerable cells of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, of representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123264.
A method for producing a seed of a line TCSEJ12-2622-derived watermelon plant, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a watermelon plant of line TCSEJ12-2622 with a second watermelon plant, of representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123264;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a TCSEJ12-2622-derived watermelon plant to form.
A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123264;
- (b) cultivating said tissue to obtain proliferated shoots;
- and
- (c) rooting said proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets.
A method of introducing a desired trait into watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, the method comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of line TCSEJ1.2-2622 with a second watermelon plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny, of representative seed of said line TCSEJ12-2622 having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123264;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) crossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of line TCSEJ12-2622 to produce backcross progeny;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristic of watermelon line TCSEJ112-2622;
- and
- repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait and essentially all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622 when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A method of producing a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622 comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, of representative seed of said line TCSEJ12-2622 having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123264.
