Inbred broccoli line BRM50-3905
View Patent ↗Inbred broccoli lines, designated BRM50-3906 are disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred broccoli lines BRM50-3906, to the plants of inbred broccoli lines BRM50-3906, and to methods for producing a broccoli plant produced by crossing the inbred line BRM50-3906 with itself or another broccoli line. The invention further relates to hybrid broccoli seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line BRM50-3906 with another broccoli line.
1. A broccoli plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of broccoli line BRM50-3905, a sample of said seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5198, into which a gene for cytoplasmic male sterility has been introduced.
2. The seed of a plant according to claim 1 , wherein said plant of claim 1 is maintained by cross pollination with BRM50-3905 as a fertile maintainer line.
3. A plant, or a part thereof, grown from the seed of claim 2 .
4. An F1 hybrid plant, or a part thereof, formed by crossing the plant of claim 1 with a broccoli plant that is not BRM50-3905.
5. A part of a plant according claim 4 , wherein said part is selected from the group consisting of a seed, a head, a stalk, a floret, a leaf, and a cell.
6. A broccoli plant, or a part thereof, having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the broccoli plant, or a part thereof, of claim 1 .
7. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 4 .
8. A method of making broccoli seed comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with a plant of line BRM50-3905 or with a broccoli plant of another broccoli line.
9. A method of making an F1 broccoli plant comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 as the female parent with a broccoli plant of another broccoli line.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising the steps of collecting the seed and planting the seed.
