Abstract

A lettuce cultivar, designated Regency 3.0, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds, plants and plant parts of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0 and to methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing the cultivar Regency 3.0 with itself or another lettuce cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic lettuce plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to lettuce cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0, to methods for producing other lettuce cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0 and to the lettuce plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid lettuce seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar Regency 3.0 with another lettuce cultivar.

Claims (32)

1. A plant, plant part or seed of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-125932.

2. The plant part of claim 1 , further defined as pollen, a meristem, a cell, or an ovule.

3. A lettuce plant, or a plant part thereof, having all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 .

4. A tissue or cell culture produced from protoplasts or cells from the plant of claim 1 , wherein said cells or protoplasts are produced from a plant part selected from the group consisting of leaf, pollen, embryo, cotyledon, hypocotyl, meristem, root, root tip, pistil, anther, ovule, flower, shoot, stem, seed, stalk and petiole.

5. A lettuce plant regenerated from the tissue or cell culture of claim 4 , wherein the regenerated plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cultivar Regency 3.0.

6. A method of producing a lettuce seed, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second lettuce plant.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0 with a second, distinct lettuce plant.

8. An F 1 lettuce seed produced by the method of claim 7 .

9. A lettuce plant produced by growing the seed of claim 8 .

10. A plant or seed of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0 further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-125932.

11. The plant or seed of claim 10 , wherein the single locus conversion comprises a transgene.

12. The plant or seed of claim 10 , wherein the single locus confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified seed yield, modified bolting, abiotic stress resistance, a value-added trait, altered seed amino acid composition, site-specific genetic recombination, and modified carbohydrate metabolism.

13. The plant or seed of claim 12 , wherein the single locus confers resistance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, dicamba, glufosinate, phenoxy propionic acid, L-phosphinothricin, PPO inhibitors, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors, cyclohexone, cyclohexanedione, triazine, benzonitrile, and bromoxynil.

14. The plant or seed of claim 12 , wherein the single locus comprises a transgene.

15. A method for producing a seed of a cultivar Regency 3.0-derived lettuce plant comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing the lettuce plant of claim 1 with a second lettuce plant; and

(b) allowing seed of a Regency 3.0-derived lettuce plant to form.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises the steps of:

(c) crossing a plant grown from said Regency 3.0-derived lettuce seed with itself or a second lettuce plant to yield additional Regency 3.0-derived lettuce seed;

(d) growing said additional Regency 3.0-derived lettuce seed of step (c) to yield additional Regency 3.0-derived lettuce plants; and

(e) repeating the crossing and growing steps of (c) and (d) to generate further Regency 3.0-derived lettuce plants.

17. A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0, wherein the method comprises:

(a) collecting a plant part capable of being propagated from a plant of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-125932; and

(b) producing at least a first rooted plantlet or plant from said plant part.

18. A lettuce plantlet or plant produced by the method of claim 17 , wherein the lettuce plantlet or plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0.

19. A method of producing a genetically modified lettuce plant, wherein the method comprises mutation, transformation, gene conversion, genome editing, RNA interference or gene silencing of the plant of claim 1 .

20. A genetically modified lettuce plant produced by the method of claim 19 , wherein said plant is produced by transformation, gene conversion, genome editing, RNA interference, or gene silencing and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0.

21. A method of determining a genotype of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0, or a first generation progeny thereof, the method comprising:

(a) obtaining a sample of nucleic acids from the plant of claim 1 ; and

(b) detecting a polymorphism in the nucleic acid sample.

22. A method of producing a commodity plant product, comprising obtaining the plant of claim 1 , or a plant part thereof, and producing the commodity plant product from said plant or plant part thereof, wherein said commodity plant product is selected from the group consisting of fresh lettuce leaf, fresh lettuce head, cut, sliced, ground, pureed, dried, canned, jarred, washed, packaged, frozen and heated leaves.

23. A commodity plant product produced by the method of claim 22 , wherein the commodity plant product comprises at least one cell of lettuce cultivar Regency 3.0.
