Hybrid tomato variety 72-CH0360 RZ
The present invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum seed designated 72-CH0360 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant produced by growing the 72-CH0360 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the tomato cultivar that is represented by the tomato variety designated 72-CH0360 RZ.
1 . A seed of tomato hybrid variety 72-CH0360 RZ, a representative sample of seed of variety 72-CH0360 RZ having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44228.
2 . A hybrid tomato plant grown from the seed of claim 1 .
3 . A hybrid tomato plant, having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the hybrid tomato plant of claim 2 .
4 . A part of the hybrid tomato plant of claim 2 , wherein said plant part comprises an embryo sac, a cutting, a leaf, a cotyledon, a hypocotyl, a meristematic cell, a root, a root tip, a rootstock, a scion, a flower, a fruit, or a stem.
5 . A tissue culture of regenerable cells or protoplasts from the plant of claim 2 , or the plant part of claim 4 .
6 . The tissue culture of claim 5 , wherein said cells or protoplasts of the tissue culture are obtained from an embryo sac, a cutting, a leaf, a cotyledon, a hypocotyl, a meristematic cell, a root, a root tip, a flower, or a stem.
7 . A tomato plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 5 , wherein the regenerated plant expresses all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of hybrid tomato variety 72-CH0360 RZ, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44228.
8 . A tomato plant comprising the scion or rootstock of claim 4 .
9 . A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-CH0360 RZ comprising the steps of: (a) collecting tissue from a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-CH0360 RZ, a representative sample of seed of variety 72-CH0360 RZ having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44228; and (b) producing a rooted plant from said tissue.
10 . A method for producing a progeny plant of the tomato plant of claim 2 , comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with itself or with another tomato plant, harvesting the resultant seed, and growing said seed.
11 . The hybrid tomato plant of claim 3 , further comprising a transgene, wherein the transgene is introduced via transformation.
12 . A method for producing a seed of a 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato plant comprising (a) crossing a plant of tomato variety 72-CH0360 RZ, a representative sample of seed of variety 72-CH0360 RZ having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44228, with itself or with a second tomato plant, and (b) allowing a seed of a 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato plant to form.
13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising (c) crossing a plant grown from the 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato seed with itself or with a second tomato plant to yield additional 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato seed, (d) growing the additional 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato seed of step (c) to yield an additional 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato plant, and (e) repeating the crossing and growing of steps (c) and (d) for an additional 3-10 generations to generate a further 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato plant, and (f) allowing seed of the further 72-CH0360 RZ-derived tomato plant to form.
14 . A method of producing a tomato fruit comprising: (a) obtaining the plant according to claim 2 , wherein the plant has been cultivated to develop fruit; and (b) harvesting a tomato fruit from the plant.
15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising processing the harvested tomato fruit as a processed food product.
16 . A fruit produced by the method of claim 14 .
17 . A container comprising the tomato fruit according to claim 16 .
