Lettuce line RX 06460500
The invention provides seed and plants of the lettuce line designated RX 06460500. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of lettuce line RX 06460500, and to methods for producing a lettuce plant produced by crossing a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500 with itself or with another lettuce plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500, including the gametes of such plants.

2. A plant grown from the seed of claim 1 .
3. A plant part of the plant of claim 2 .
4. The plant part of claim 3 , wherein said part is selected from the group consisting of a pollen, an ovule and a cell.
5. A lettuce plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the lettuce plant of claim 2 .
6. A method of producing lettuce seed, comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with a second lettuce plant.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the plant of lettuce line RX 06460500 is the female parent.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the plant of lettuce line RX 06460500 is the male parent.
9. An F1 hybrid seed produced by the method of claim 6 .
10. An F1 hybrid plant produced by growing the seed of claim 9 .
11. A method of producing food comprising:
(a) obtaining the plant of claim 2 , and
(b) collecting leaf tissue from the plant, wherein the leaf tissue is capable of use as food.
12. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of lettuce line RX 06460500, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10333.
13. The tissue culture according to claim 12 , comprising cells or protoplasts from a plant part selected from the group consisting of embryos, meristems, cotyledons, pollen, leaves, anthers, roots, root tips, pistil, flower, seed and stalks.
14. A lettuce plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 12 , wherein the regenerated plant expresses all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce line RX 06460500, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10333.
15. A method for producing a seed of a line RX 06460500-derived lettuce plant comprising the steps of:
(a) crossing a lettuce plant of line RX 06460500, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10333, with a second lettuce plant; and
(b) allowing seed of a RX 06460500-derived lettuce plant to form.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising the steps of:
(c) crossing a plant grown from said RX 06460500-derived lettuce seed with itself or a second lettuce plant to yield additional RX 06460500-derived lettuce seed;
(d) growing said additional RX 06460500-derived lettuce seed of step (c) to yield additional RX 06460500-derived lettuce plants; and
(e) repeating the crossing and growing steps of (c) and (d) to generate further RX 06460500-derived lettuce plants.
17. A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500 comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10333; and
(b) producing at least a first rooted plant from said tissue.
18. A process of producing a conversion of lettuce line RX 06460500 comprising at least one new trait, the process comprising:
(a) crossing a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500, wherein a sample of seed of said line has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10333, with a lettuce plant that comprises at least one new trait to produce progeny seed;
(b) harvesting and planting the progeny seed to produce at least one progeny plant of a subsequent generation, wherein the progeny plant comprises the at least one new trait;
(c) crossing the progeny plant with a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500 to produce backcross progeny seed;
(d) harvesting and planting the backcross progeny seed to produce at least one backcross progeny plant; and
(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) for at least three additional generations to produce a converted plant of lettuce line RX 06460500, wherein the converted plant of lettuce line RX 06460500 comprises the at least one new trait.
19. A converted lettuce plant produced by the method of claim 18 .
20. A method of producing a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500 comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into a plant of lettuce line RX 06460500, wherein a sample of seed of said line has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-10333.
21. A plant produced by the method of claim 20 .
