Rice hybrid XP316M
A rice hybrid designated XP316M is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of rice hybrid XP316M, to the plants of rice hybrid XP316M and to methods for producing a rice plant produced by crossing the hybrid XP316M with itself or another rice plant. The invention further relates to hybrid rice seeds and plants produced by crossing the hybrid XP316M with another rice plant.
1. A hybrid rice seed designated XP316M, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid rice was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8800.
2. A rice 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 cells produced from the rice plant of claim 2 , wherein said cells of the tissue culture are produced from a plant part selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, cotyledon, hypocotyl, meristematic cells, roots, root tips, pistils, anthers, flowers, stems, glumes and panicles.
6. A protoplast produced from the plant of claim 2 .
7. A rice plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 5 , wherein the plant has all the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid XP316M.
8. A method for producing a rice seed, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of claim 2 with a different rice plant and harvesting the resultant rice seed.
9. A rice seed produced by the method of claim 8 .
10. A rice plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing said seed of claim 9 .
11. A method of producing an herbicide resistant rice plant wherein the method comprises transforming the rice plant of claim 2 with a transgene wherein the transgene confers resistance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine and benzonitrile.
12. An herbicide resistant rice plant produced by the method of claim 11 .
13. A method of producing an insect resistant rice plant wherein the method comprises transforming the rice plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers insect resistance.
14. An insect resistant rice plant produced by the method of claim 13 .
15. The rice plant of claim 14 , wherein the transgene encodes a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.
16. A method of producing a disease resistant rice plant wherein the method comprises transforming the rice plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers disease resistance.
17. A disease resistant rice plant produced by the method of claim 16 .
18. A method of producing a rice plant with modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism wherein the method comprises transforming the rice plant of claim 2 with a transgene encoding a protein selected from the group consisting of fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, alpha-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme or encoding an antisense of stearyl-ACP desaturase.
19. A rice plant having modified fatty acid metabolism or modified carbohydrate metabolism produced by the method of claim 18 .
