Patent
The invention provides plants of the Lantana camara cultivar designated ‘Ballanpaf’. The invention thus relates to the plants, cells, plant parts, and tissue cultures of the cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’, and to methods for producing a Lantana camara plant produced by crossing a Lantana camara plant of cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’ with another lantana plant, such as a plant of another cultivar. The invention further relates to Lantana camara seeds and plants produced by crossing plants of cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’ with plants of another cultivar. The invention further relates to the genetic complements and hybrid genetic complements of plants of cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’.
1 . A Lantana camara plant of cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’, a representative sample of plant tissue of said cultivar having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202303016.
2 . A seed of the plant of claim 1 .
3 . A plant part of the plant of claim 1 , wherein said plant part comprises at least one cell of said plant.
4 . The plant part of claim 3 , defined as a flower, pollen, a leaf, an ovule, an embryo, a cutting, an axillary bud, a stem, or a seed.
5 . A Lantana camara plant having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
6 . A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 1 .
7 . A Lantana camara plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 6 , wherein said plant comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
8 . A method of vegetatively propagating a Lantana camara plant comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting tissue from the plant of claim 1 ; and
(b) vegetatively propagating a plant from said tissue.
9 . A Lantana camara plant produced by the method of claim 8 , wherein said plant comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
10 . A method of producing a Lantana camara plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1 .
11 . A Lantana camara plant produced by the method of claim 10 .
12 . The plant of claim 1 , wherein said plant further comprises a transgene, and wherein said plant otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
13 . The plant of claim 1 , wherein said plant further comprises a single locus conversion, and wherein said plant otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
14 . The plant of claim 1 , wherein said plant further comprises a non-transgenic mutation, and wherein said plant otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
15 . The plant of claim 14 , wherein the non-transgenic mutation confers white, yellow, yellow-orange, orange, red-orange, red, purplish-red, purplish-pink, reddish-purple, or purple flower color.
16 . A method of plant breeding comprising applying plant breeding techniques to a plant according to claim 1 .
17 . The method of claim 16 , defined as comprising producing a Lantana camara cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’-derived Lantana camara plant.
18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein said plant breeding techniques comprise recurrent selection, mass selection, hybridization, open-pollination, backcrossing, modified backcrossing, endosperm culture, pedigree breeding, mutation breeding, or marker assisted selection.
19 . The method of claim 17 , further defined as comprising selecting a Lantana camara cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’-derived Lantana camara plant that comprises a trailing growth habit found in Lantana camara cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’.
20 . A Lantana camara plant produced by the method of claim 16 , wherein said plant comprises dark green colored foliage, and a trailing growth habit and has inflorescence comprising white, yellow, yellow-orange, orange, red-orange, red, purplish-red, purplish-pink, reddish-purple, or purple flowers, and wherein said plant otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
21 . A method of obtaining a Lantana camara plant with a trailing growth habit comprising producing a progeny plant of a plant according to claim 1 .
22 . A method of introducing a trailing growth habit into a Lantana plant, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) crossing a plant of Lantana camara cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’ according to claim 1 with a second Lantana plant to produce F 1 progeny;
(b) selecting an F 1 progeny that comprises the trailing growth habit found in Lantana camara cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’;
(c) backcrossing the selected F 1 progeny with the second Lantana plant to produce backcross progeny; and
(d) repeating steps (b) and (c) three or more times to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprises the trailing growth habit found in Lantana camara cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’.
23 . A plant produced by the method of claim 22 , wherein said plant comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
24 . A method for producing a Lantana camara plant comprising vegetatively propagating a Lantana camara plant comprising a trailing growth habit found in Lantana camara cultivar ‘Ballanpaf’, wherein said plant is the product of applying a plant breeding technique to the plant of claim 1 .
25 . A plant produced by the method of claim 24 , wherein said plant comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .
