The invention is in the field of Brassica carinata breeding (i.e. Ethiopian mustard breeding), specifically relating to Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06. The present invention relates to seeds, plants or parts thereof, cells, methods of making, and uses of this variety and its progeny.
1. A Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013.
2. A seed, plant, plant part or cell of Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013.
3. A Brassica carinata plant or plant part having the physiological and morphological characteristics of variety AGR044-M6, representative seed of variety DH-069.356 having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013.
4. A Brassica carinata seed produced by a method comprising:
(a) crossing a plant of Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06 with a different Brassica carinata plant to produce F1 hybrid seed, representative seed of variety AGR044-M06 having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013; and
(b) recovering the F1 hybrid seed.
5. A method of producing a Brassica carinata variety derived from Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06, representative seed of variety AGR044-M06 having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013, the method comprising
(a) crossing a plant of Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06 with a different Brassica carinata plant having a desired trait to produce F1 hybrid seed; and
(b) growing the resultant F1 hybrid seed and selecting one or more F1 hybrid plants having the desired trait.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising the steps of
(a) backcrossing the selected F1 hybrid plants with plants of variety AGR044-M06, representative seed of variety AGR044-M06 having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013, or with the different Brassica carinata plant having a desired trait, to produce backcross progeny seed;
(b) growing the resultant backcross progeny seed and selecting backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait; and
(c) repeating steps (a) and (b) on the selected backcross progeny plants to a maximum of 10 generations to produce a progeny Brassica carinata plant derived from Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06, wherein the progeny Brassica carinata plant comprises the desired trait and all the physiological and morphological characteristics of variety AGR044-M06 other than the desired trait.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising the steps of
(a) self-pollinating the selected F1 hybrid plants to produce further progeny seed;
(b) growing the further progeny seed and selecting further progeny plants that have the desired trait; and
(c) repeating steps (d) and (e) on the selected further progeny plants to a maximum of 10 generations to produce a progeny Brassica carinata plant derived from Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06, wherein the progeny Brassica carinata plant comprises the desired trait, and all the physiological and morphological characteristics of variety AGR044-M06 other than the desired trait.
8. An F1 hybrid plant grown from the F1 hybrid seed produced by the method of claim 5 , wherein the F1 hybrid plant has the desired trait.
9. A method for producing a Double Haploid variety comprising:
(a) isolating a flower bud of the F1 plant of claim 8 ;
(b) dissecting out a haploid microspore;
(c) placing the haploid microspore in culture;
(d) inducing the microspore to differentiate into an embryo and subsequently into a plantlet;
(e) identifying whether the plantlet contains a diploid chromosome number, wherein the diploid chromosome number occurred through chromosome doubling; and
(f) continuing to grow the plantlet if it contains a diploid chromosome number.
10. A cell of a Brassica carinata plant or plant part of claim 3 .
11. A tissue culture of protoplasts or regenerable cells of the cell of claim 10 .
12. The tissue culture of protoplast or regenerable cells of claim 11 , wherein the protoplasts or regenerable cells are produced from a tissue selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, roots, root tips, pods, flowers, ovules, and stalks.
13. A Brassica carinata plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 11 , wherein the plant has all the physiological and morphological characteristics of variety AGR044-M6, representative seed of variety AGR044-M06 having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013.
14. A method of producing a commercial plant product comprising growing the plant of claim 2 to produce a commercial crop and producing the commercial plant product from the commercial crop.
15. A method of producing a commercial plant product comprising growing the F1 hybrid plant of claim 8 to produce a commercial crop and producing the commercial plant product from the commercial crop.
16. A product produced from a Brassica carinata plant of variety AGR044-M06, wherein the product comprises at least one cell of said Brassica carinata variety AGR044-M06, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under NCIMB accession number 43013.
17. A product produced from the Brassica carinata plant of claim 3 , wherein the product comprises at least one cell of said Brassica carinata plant of claim 3 .
18. A product produced from the F1 hybrid plant of claim 8 , wherein the product comprises at least one cell of said F1 hybrid plant of claim 8 .
