Peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’
View Patent ↗Herein provided is a new runner-type peanut variety designated ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ as well as the seeds, plants and derivatives of the new peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’. Methods for producing peanut plants by crossing the new peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ with itself or another peanut variety (such as another spanish, valencia, virginia, or runner-type peanut variety) and plants produced by such methods are also provided. ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ is a unique spanish market-type peanut cultivar having a combination of a high level of resistance to peanut root-knot nematode (RKN) ( Meloidogyne arenaria ) and a high level of resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), high yield and high-oleic fatty acid content of seed oil. ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ provides a medium plus maturity spanish market-type peanut cultivar with intermediate decumbent runner growth habit, tan testa color, and large spanish market-type seed size.
1 . A seed of peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’, wherein a representative sample of seed of the variety has been deposited under American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Accession No. PTA-127584.
2 . A seed mixture, comprising the seed of claim 1 .
3 . A peanut plant of peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ grown from a seed of claim 1 .
4 . A plant part of the peanut plant of claim 3 .
5 . The plant part of claim 4 , wherein the plant part is pollen, an ovule or a cell.
6 . A tissue culture produced from protoplasts or cells from the peanut plant of claim 3 .
7 . The tissue culture of claim 6 , wherein the cells or protoplasts are produced from a leaf, stem, protoplast, pollen, ovule, embryo, cotyledon, hypocotyl, meristematic cell, root, root tip, pistil, anther, flower, seed, shoot, stem, pedicel, pod or petiole.
8 . A peanut plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 6 , wherein the peanut plant comprises all of the morphological and physiological properties of a peanut plant grown from a seed deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127584.
9 . A method of producing peanut seed, consisting of:
self-pollinating the peanut plant of claim 3 or crossing the peanut plant of claim 3 with a second peanut plant; and
harvesting a resulting peanut seed.
10 . A progeny peanut seed produced by the method of claim 9 .
11 . A progeny peanut plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 10 .
12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the second peanut plant is transgenic.
13 . An F 1 hybrid seed produced by the method of claim 9 .
14 . A method of introducing a desired trait into peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ comprising:
(a) crossing the plant of claim 3 with a second plant comprising a desired trait to produce F 1 progeny plants;
(b) selecting F 1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F 1 progeny plants;
(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with at least a first plant of variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ to produce backcross progeny plants;
(d) selecting backcross progeny plants that are resistant to tomato spotted wilt caused by Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) and peanut root-knot nematode [ Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal)] (RKN), to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and
(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the resistance to tomato spotted wilt caused by Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) and peanut root-knot nematode [ Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal)] (RKN) of ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ when grown in the same environmental conditions.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the desired trait comprises one or more of herbicide tolerance, resistance to an insect, resistance to a bacterial disease, resistance to a viral disease, resistance to a fungal disease, resistance to a nematode, resistance to a pest, male sterility, abiotic stress tolerance, modified phosphorus content, modified antioxidant content, modified essential seed amino acid content, modified fatty acid content, modified carbohydrate content, modified peanut fiber content, seed-splitting, modified seed yield, modified oil percent, modified protein percent, modified fancy pod percent, modified pod size, modified pod shape, or modified pod color.
16 . The plant of claim 3 , further comprising a single locus conversion.
17 . A method of producing a hybrid peanut plant derived from peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’, comprising:
(a) preparing a progeny plant derived from peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ ATCC Accession No. PTA-127584 by crossing the plant of claim 3 with a peanut plant of a second variety;
(b) self-pollinating the progeny plant for crossing the progeny plant with a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;
(c) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant; and
(d) repeating steps (b) and (c) for an additional 3-10 generations to produce a hybrid peanut plant derived from the peanut variety ‘Georgia-SP/RKN’.
18 . A F 1 plant that is the progeny plant produced in part (a) of claim 17 plant.
19 . A progeny peanut seed produced by the method of claim 9 , wherein a progeny peanut plant resulting from the progeny peanut seed comprises all of the morphological and physiological properties of a peanut plant grown from a seed deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127584.
