Wheat plants having increased resistance to imidazolinone herbicides
The present invention is directed to plants having increased resistance to an imidazolinone herbicide. More partitularly, the present invention includes wheat plants and triticale plants containing at least one IMI nucleic acid such as an imidazolinone resistant Brookton BR-8 or Krichauff K-42 cultivar. The present invention also includes seeds produced by these wheat plants and triticale plants and methods of controlling weeds in the vicinity of these wheat plants.
1. A seed of wheat line Krichauff IMI K-42, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4257.
2. A wheat plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing a seed of wheat line Krichauff IMI K-42, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4257.
3. A method for producing a hybrid wheat seed wherein the method comprises crossing a first wheat plant with a different wheat plant and harvesting the resulting hybrid wheat seed, wherein the first wheat plant is produced by growing a seed of wheat line Krichauff IMI K-42, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4257.
4. A hybrid wheat seed produced by a method comprising crossing a first wheat plant with a different wheat pant and harvesting the resulting hybrid wheat seed, wherein the first wheat plant is produced by growing a seed of wheat line Krichauff IMI K-42, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4257.
5. A wheat plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing a hybrid wheat seed produced by a method comprising crossing a first wheat plant with a different wheat plant and harvesting the resulting hybrid wheat seed, wherein the first wheat plant is produced by growing a seed of wheat line Krichauff IMI K-42, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4257.
