Abstract

A Petunia - Calibrachoa plant designated SAKPXC038 is disclosed. Embodiments include the seeds of Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038, the plants of Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038, to plant parts of Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038, and methods for producing a plant produced by crossing Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038 with itself or with another variety. Embodiments include methods for producing a plant containing in its genetic material one or more genes or transgenes and the transgenic plants and plant parts produced by those methods. Embodiments also relate to varieties, breeding varieties, plant parts, and cells derived from Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038, methods for producing other lines or plant parts derived from Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038, and the plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. Embodiments further include hybrid seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038 with another variety.

Claims (19)

1 . A plant of Petunia - Calibrachoa variety SAKPXC038, wherein a representative sample of plant tissue of SAKPXC038 was deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202409012.

2 . A plant or a plant part thereof produced by growing the plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant part comprises a cell of a plant organ chosen from the group consisting of leaf, hypocotyl, meristem, root, root tip, pistil, anther, flower, and stem, and wherein the plant or plant part comprises at least one cell of Petunia - Calibrachoa variety SAKPXC038.

3 . A Petunia - Calibrachoa plant, or part thereof, wherein said plant or part thereof has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the Petunia - Calibrachoa plant of claim 1 .

4 . A tissue or cell culture of regenerable cells produced from the plant of claim 1 , wherein the tissue or cell culture of regenerable cells comprise all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of a cell or tissue of petunia - calibrachoa SAKPXC038.

5 . The tissue or cell culture of claim 4 , comprising tissues or cells from a plant organ or tissue type selected from the group consisting of leaf, hypocotyl, meristem, root, root tip, pistil, anther, flower and stem.

6 . A Petunia - Calibrachoa plant regenerated from the tissue or cell culture of claim 5 , wherein said plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of Petunia - Calibrachoa SAKPXC038.

7 . A method of vegetatively propagating the plant of claim 1 , comprising the steps of: collecting tissue or cells capable of being propagated from said plant; cultivating said tissue or cells to obtain proliferated shoots; and rooting said proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets; or cultivating said tissue or cells to obtain proliferated shoots, or to obtain plantlets.

8 . An F1 Petunia - Calibrachoa plant produced by growing the plantlets or proliferated shoots of claim 7 .

9 . A method for producing an embryo or seed, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of claim 1 with another plant and harvesting the resultant embryo or seed.

10 . A method of determining the genotype of the Petunia - Calibrachoa plant of claim 1 , wherein said method comprises obtaining a sample of nucleic acids from said plant and detecting in said nucleic acids a plurality of polymorphisms.

11 . A method of producing a Petunia - Calibrachoa plant resistant to the group consisting of herbicides, insects, and disease, wherein the method comprises transforming the Petunia - Calibrachoa plant of claim 1 with a transgene, and wherein said transgene confers resistance to an herbicide, insecticide, or disease.

12 . An herbicide, insect, or disease resistant plant produced by the method of claim 11 , wherein said plant is herbicide, insect, or disease resistant and otherwise has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of SAKPXC038.

13 . A method for producing a Petunia - Calibrachoa plant, said method comprising: a) crossing two Petunia - Calibrachoa plants, b) harvesting the resultant Petunia - Calibrachoa seed, c) growing the seed from step b to produce progeny, and d) selecting resulting progeny; wherein at least one of the two Petunia - Calibrachoa plants is said SAKPXC038 of claim 1 .

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising propagating the plant via seed, cutting, or tissue culture.

15 . A method for producing a Petunia - Calibrachoa plant, said method comprising: propagating a vegetative cutting from a stock Petunia - Calibrachoa plant, thereby producing the Petunia - Calibrachoa plant; wherein the stock Petunia - Calibrachoa plant is a product of a single cross between: a parental line plant with another plant, or with itself; wherein the parental line plant is said SAKPXC038 of claim 1 .

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising propagating the plant via seed, cutting, or tissue culture.

17 . A method for producing a Petunia - Calibrachoa plant, said method comprising: propagating a vegetative cutting from a stock Petunia - Calibrachoa plant, thereby producing the Petunia - Calibrachoa plant wherein the stock Petunia - Calibrachoa plant is a product of applying a plant breeding technique to a Petunia - Calibrachoa parental line plant; wherein the parental line plant is said SAKPXC038 of claim 1 .

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising propagating the plant via seed, cutting, or tissue culture.

19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein said plant breeding technique is selected from the group consisting of recurrent selection, mass selection, hybridization, open-pollination, backcrossing, pedigree breeding, marker enhanced selection, mutation breeding, wherein said mutation selected is spontaneous or artificially induced.
