8. A method for harvesting a Diplotaxis tenuifolia leaf, the method comprising (a) growing the Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant of claim 2 to produce a Diplotaxis tenuifolia leaf, and (b) harvesting said Diplotaxis tenuifolia leaf.
9. A Diplotaxis tenuifolia leaf produced by the method of claim 8 .
10. A method for producing a Diplotaxis tenuifolia seed, the method comprising crossing a first parent Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant with a second parent Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant and harvesting the resultant Diplotaxis tenuifolia seed, wherein said first parent Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant and/or second parent Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant is the Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant of claim 2 .
11. An F1 Diplotaxis tenuifolia seed produced by the method of claim 10 .
12. A method for producing a Diplotaxis tenuifolia seed, the method comprising self-pollinating the Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant of claim 2 and harvesting the resultant Diplotaxis tenuifolia seed.
13. A Diplotaxis tenuifolia seed produced by the method of claim 12 .
14. A method of producing a Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant derived from the Diplotaxis tenuifolia designated RAPIDA, the method comprising (a) crossing the plant of claim 2 with a second Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant to produce a progeny plant.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising the steps of:
(b) crossing the progeny plant derived from the Diplotaxis tenuifolia designated RAPIDA with itself or a second Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant to produce a seed of progeny plant of subsequent generation;
(c) growing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation from the seed; and
(d) crossing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation with itself or a second Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant to produce a Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant derived from the Diplotaxis tenuifolia designated RAPIDA.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising the step of:
(e) repeating step (b) and/or (c) to produce a Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant further derived from the Diplotaxis tenuifolia designated RAPIDA.
17. A Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant designated RAPIDA, comprising a single locus conversion and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of Diplotaxis tenuifolia designated RAPIDA listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seed of said Diplotaxis tenuifolia has been deposited under NCIMB No. 43502.
18. The plant of claim 17 , wherein the single locus conversion confers said plant with herbicide resistance.
19. The plant of claim 17 , wherein the single locus conversion is introduced by a Breeding Technique selected from the group consisting of recurrent selection, [mutation breeding wherein said mutation breeding selects for a mutation that is spontaneous or artificially induced,] backcrossing, pedigree breeding, haploid/double haploid production, marker-assisted selection, genetic transformation, genomic selection, Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) technology, oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis, cisgenesis and intragenesis, RNA-dependent DNA methylation, agro-infiltration, Transcription Activation-Like Effector Nuclease (TALENs), CRISPR/Cas system, engineered meganuclease, re-engineered homing endonuclease, and DNA guided genome editing.
20. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant of claim 2 , or a plant part, or a plant cell thereof.
21. A method for producing a second Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant, the method comprising applying a plant breeding technique to the plant or plant part of claim 2 to produce the second Diplotaxis tenuifolia plant.
22. A method of introducing a desired trait into Diplotaxis tenuifolia designated RAPIDA, the method comprising the steps of:
