1. A Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant designated variety 72-760 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42684.

2. A seed that produces the plant of claim 1 .

3. A part of the plant of claim 1 , wherein said part of the plant is suitable for sexual reproduction.

4. The part of the plant as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said part comprises a microspore, pollen, an ovary, an ovule, an embryo sac, or an egg cell.

5. A part of the plant of claim 1 , wherein said part of the plant is suitable for vegetative reproduction.

6. The part as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said part comprises a cutting, a root, a stem, a cell, or a protoplast.

7. A tissue culture of regenerable cells or protoplasts from the tomato plant of claim 1 .

8. The tissue culture of claim 7 , wherein said cells or protoplasts are obtained from a leaf, pollen, a cotyledon, a hypocotyl, a meristematic cell, a root, a root tip, an anther, a flower, or a stem.

9. A method for producing a progeny plant of the Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant of claim 1 , comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or with another Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant, harvesting the resultant seed, and growing said seed.

10. A progeny of the plant of claim 1 , having all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant of variety 72-760 RZ as listed in Table 1, representative seed of which variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42684.

11. A method of producing a Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant derived from hybrid Solanum lycopersicum tomato variety 72-760 RZ, comprising the steps:

a) preparing a progeny plant derived from hybrid Solanum lycopersicum tomato variety 72-760 RZ by crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant;

b) crossing the progeny plant with itself or a second Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant to produce a seed of the progeny plant of a subsequent generation;

c) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant; and

d) repeating step b) or c) for 3-10 more generations to produce Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant derived from the hybrid Solanum lycopersicum variety tomato variety 72-760 RZ.

12. A method of producing a tomato fruit comprising: (a) obtaining the plant according to claim 1 , wherein the plant has been cultivated to develop fruit; and (b) collecting a tomato fruit from the plant.

13. A fruit produced by the method of claim 12 , wherein the fruit comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant of variety 72-760 RZ.

14. A method for producing a seed of a 72-760 RZ-derived tomato plant comprising (a) crossing a 72-760 RZ plant, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. NCIMB 42684, with itself or a second tomato plant, and (b) obtaining a seed of a 72-760 RZ-derived tomato plant.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising (c) crossing a plant grown from 72-760 RZ-derived tomato seed with itself or with a second tomato plant to yield additional 72-760 RZ-derived tomato seed, (d) growing the additional 72-760 RZ-derived tomato seed of step (c) to yield additional 72-760 RZ-derived tomato plants, and (e) repeating the crossing and growing of steps (c) and (d) for an additional 3-10 generations to generate further 72-760 RZ-derived tomato plants.

16. A Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant designated 72-760 RZ, represented seeds of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42684, further comprising a modification effected by mutagenesis, wherein said modified plant otherwise has all the morphological characteristics of the 72-760 RZ tomato plant.

17. A Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant designated 72-760 RZ, represented seeds of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42684, further comprising a modification effected by transformation with a transgene, wherein said modified plant otherwise has all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the 72-760 RZ tomato plant.

18. A Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant having all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the Solanum lycopersicum tomato plant of claim 1 , wherein the morphological and physiological characteristics are as found in Solanum lycopersicum tomato 72-760 RZ, representative seed of which variety having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 42684.
