Garden bean named ‘211945’
View Patent ↗A novel garden bean cultivar, designated ‘211945’, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of garden bean cultivar ‘211945’, to the plants of garden bean line ‘211945’ and to methods for producing a bean plant by crossing the cultivar ‘211945’ with itself or another bean line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a bean 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 garden bean lines derived from the cultivar ‘211945’.
1. A Phaseolus vulgaris L. garden bean seed designated ‘211945’, wherein a sample of said seed has been deposited under NCIMB No. 41261.
2. A plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 1 .
3. Pollen of the plant of claim 2 .
4. An ovule of the plant of claim 2 .
5. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of a bean plant of variety ‘211945’, wherein the tissue regenerates plants having all the morphological and physiological characteristics of Phaseolus vulgaris L. bean line ‘211945’, representative seeds having been deposited under NCIMB No. 41261.
6. The tissue culture of claim 5 , selected from the group consisting of protoplast and calli, wherein the regenerable cells are produced from embryo, meristematic cells, leaves, pollen, embryo, root, root tips, stems, anther, flowers, seeds or pods.
7. A Phaseolus vulgaris L. garden bean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 5 , wherein the regenerated plant has all the morphological and physiological characteristics of Phaseolus vulgaris L. bean plant ‘211945’, representative seeds having been deposited under NCIMB No. 41261.
8. A method for producing a hybrid garden bean seed comprising crossing a first parent garden bean plant with a second parent garden bean plant and harvesting the resultant hybrid garden bean seed, wherein said first or second parent garden bean plant is the Phaseolus vulgaris L. garden bean plant of claim 2 .
9. A method of producing an herbicide resistant bean plant comprising transforming the bean plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers herbicide resistance.
10. An herbicide resistant bean plant produced by the method of claim 9 .
11. The bean plant of claim 10 , wherein the transgene confers resistance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonvlurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosohinothricin, triazine and benzonitrile.
12. A method of producing an insect resistant bean plant comprising transforming the bean plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers insect resistance.
13. An insect resistant bean plant produced by the method of claim 12 .
14. The bean plant of claim 13 , wherein the transgene encodes a Bacillus thuringiensis protein.
15. A method of producing a disease resistant bean plant comprising transforming the bean plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers resistance to bacterial, fungal or viral disease.
16. A disease resistant bean plant produced by the method of claim 15 .
