Abstract
The disclosure relates to the plants, plants parts, and plant cells of tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’, and to methods for producing a tomato plant by crossing the disclosed tomato variety with itself or another tomato plant and to plants derived from ‘X22-31’. The disclosure further relates to single locus conversions of ‘X22-31’, tomato fruit of ‘X22-31’, and methods of using ‘X22-31’ as a rootstock or scion and composite plants produced therefrom. The disclosure further relates to allotetraploid plants produced from ‘X22-31’.
Claims (28)
1. A plant, plant part, or plant cell of a hybrid tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’, wherein seed of said hybrid tomato variety has also been deposited under NCMA No. 202303008.
2. The tomato plant part of claim 1 , wherein the part is selected from the group consisting of a seed, leaf, a flower, a fruit, a stalk, a root, a rootstock, a scion, a meristem, and a cell.
3. The plant part of claim 2 , wherein the plant part is a rootstock.
4. A tissue culture of regenerable cells produced from the tomato plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 1 .
5. A tomato plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 4 , said plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of hybrid tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’ deposited under NCMA No. 202303008, when grown under the same environmental conditions.
6. A method for harvesting a tomato fruit, the method comprising: (a) growing the tomato plant of claim 1 to produce a tomato fruit, and (b) harvesting said tomato fruit.
7. A method for producing a tomato seed, the method comprising: (a) crossing a first tomato plant with a second tomato plant and (b) harvesting the resultant tomato seed, wherein said first tomato plant and/or second tomato plant is the tomato plant of claim 1 .
8. A method of vegetatively propagating hybrid tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’, the method comprising: (a) collecting a part capable of being propagated from the plant of claim 1 and (b) regenerating a plant from said part.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising (c) harvesting a fruit from said regenerated plant.
10. A plant obtained by the method of claim 8 , wherein said plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato designated ‘X22-31’ deposited under NCMA No. 202303008.
11. A tomato fruit produced by the method of claim 9 .
12. A method of producing a tomato plant obtained from hybrid tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’, the method comprising: (a) growing the seed produced by the method of claim 7 to obtain a progeny tomato plant.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising the steps of: (b) crossing the progeny tomato plant obtained from tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’ with itself or a second tomato plant to produce a progeny seed of a subsequent generation; (c) growing the progeny seed of the subsequent generation to produce a progeny plant of a subsequent generation; (d) crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second tomato plant to produce a tomato seed derived from tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) at least once to produce a tomato plant further derived from hybrid tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’.
15. The plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 1 , further comprising a single locus conversion and otherwise all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’ deposited under NCMA No. 202303008, when grown under the same environmental conditions.
16. The plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 15 , wherein the single locus conversion confers said plant with male sterility, male fertility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, water stress tolerance, heat tolerance, improved standability, enhanced plant vigor, improved shelf life, delayed senescence or controlled ripening, or increased nutritional quality.
17. The plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 15 , wherein the single locus conversion is an artificially mutated gene or nucleotide sequence.
18. The plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 15 , wherein the single locus conversion is introduced into the plant by a genetic transformation or a gene editing technique with a nuclease selected from the group consisting of Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN), Transcription Activation-Like Effector Nuclease (TALEN), Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-associated Cas endonuclease (CRISPR-Cas), meganuclease, homing endonuclease, and RNA-guided nuclease.
19. A method of producing a composite tomato plant, the method comprising: grafting a rootstock or a scion of the tomato plant of claim 1 to another tomato plant.
20. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising: isolating nucleic acids from the plant of claim 1 , a part, or a cell thereof.
21. A method of producing a commodity plant product, the method comprising: obtaining the plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 1 and producing said commodity plant product therefrom.
22. A method for producing an allotetraploid tomato plant, comprising:
applying a chromosome doubling agent to a ‘X22-31’ plant, or a vegetative cutting thereof, to generate a chimeric interspecific hybrid;
growing the chimeric interspecific hybrid to produce a tomato fruit;
collecting seed from the tomato fruit;
growing the seed; and
selecting an allotetraploid tomato plant.
23. A composite tomato plant, wherein the rootstock of the composite plant is hybrid tomato variety designated ‘X22-31’, wherein seed of said hybrid tomato variety has also been deposited under NCMA No. 202303008.
