Garden bean variety ‘Goldstrike’
A new variety of garden bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) designated ‘Goldstrike’ is provided. Garden bean variety ‘Goldstrike’ is characterized by its bright yellow pods in mainly the 4sv class, heat tolerance and erect plant, and resistance to Colletotrichum lindemuthiunum (Anthracnose) and intermediate resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv syringae (Bacterial Brown Spot).
1. A seed of garden bean variety designated ‘Goldstrike’, wherein a representative sample of seed of the variety has been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43750.
2. A garden bean plant produced by growing the seed of claim 1 .
3. A plant part from the plant of claim 2 .
4. The plant part of claim 3 , wherein the part is a leaf, a pod, a garden bean hull, a garden bean, a stem, a root, or a flower.
5. A garden bean plant having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 2 .
6. A plant part from the plant of claim 5 .
7. The plant part of claim 6 , wherein the part is a leaf, a pod, a garden bean hull, a garden bean, a stem, a root, or a flower.
8. A tissue culture of regenerable cells produced from the plant of claim 2 , wherein the cells of the tissue culture are produced from a plant part selected from the group consisting of embryos, meristematic cells, leaves, pollen, roots, root tips, stems, anthers, pistils, pods, flowers, and seeds.
9. A garden bean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 8 , wherein the plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of garden bean variety ‘Goldstrike’.
10. A method for producing a hybrid garden bean seed, comprising crossing a first parent garden bean plant with a second parent garden bean plant and harvesting the resultant hybrid garden bean seed, wherein the first parent garden bean plant or the second parent garden bean plant is the plant of claim 2 .
11. The F 1 hybrid garden bean seed produced by the method of claim 10 .
12. A method for producing a transgenic garden bean plant, comprising transforming the plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers a trait.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the trait is selected from the group consisting of: herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and a combination thereof.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the trait is herbicide resistance, and the herbicide is selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine, and benzonitrile.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the trait is insect resistance, and the insect resistance is conferred by a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.
16. A transgenic garden bean plant, or a plant part thereof, produced by the method of claim 12 .
17. A method for introducing a trait into garden bean variety ‘Goldstrike’, the method comprising: (a) crossing a plant of garden bean variety ‘Goldstrike’, wherein a representative sample of seed of the variety has been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43750, with another garden bean plant that comprises a trait to produce F 1 progeny plants, wherein the trait is selected from the group consisting of insect resistance, disease resistance, water stress tolerance, heat tolerance, improved shelf-life, improved nutritional quality, improved yield, and a combination thereof; (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have the trait to produce selected progeny plants; (c) backcrossing the selected progeny plants with plants of garden bean variety ‘Goldstrike’ to produce backcross progeny plants; (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the trait; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times to produce further backcross progeny plants that have the trait.
18. A garden bean plant, or a plant part thereof, produced by the method of claim 17 , wherein the plant has the trait and otherwise has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of garden bean variety ‘Goldstrike’.
19. The garden bean plant of claim 18 , wherein the trait is herbicide resistance, and the herbicide is selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine, and benzonitrile.
20. The garden bean plant of claim 18 , wherein the trait is insect resistance, and the insect resistance is conferred by a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin.
21. A method for producing a garden bean pod, comprising: (a) cultivating the plant of claim 2 to produce a garden bean pod; and (b) harvesting the garden bean pod.
22. The garden bean pod produced by the method of claim 21 .
23. An F 1 hybrid garden bean plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 11 .
