Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2516’
Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2516’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to hot and dry climactic regions such as California central valley, Chile and Xinjiang. It is a mid-season variety with resistance to Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt races 1, 2, and 3, Fusarium crown and root rot, root knot nematode, tomato spotted wilt virus and tomato mosaic virus.
1 . A plant produced by growing a tomato seed designated as ‘H2516’, representative sample of seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-127752.
2 . A plant part from the plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant part comprises at least one tomato variety ‘H2516’ cell.
3 . The plant part of claim 2 , wherein the part comprises one or more of leaf, rootstock, scion, fruit, cotyledon, meristem, root, root tip, pistil, flower, stem, calli, stalk, hypocotyl, pericarp, and portion thereof containing at least one regenerable tomato variety ‘H2516’ cell.
4 . A tomato plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant produced by growing a tomato seed designated as ‘H2516’, representative sample of seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-127752.
5 . A plant part isolated from the plant of claim 4 , wherein the plant part comprises at least one tomato variety ‘H2516’ cell.
