Abstract
New lettuce varieties designated ‘Paonia’ and ‘Newcastle’ are described. ‘Paonia’ and ‘Newcastle’ are lettuce varieties exhibiting stability and uniformity.
Claims (17)
1. A lettuce seed designated as ‘Paonia’, representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 44018.
2. A lettuce 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 said part is a head, a leaf, or a portion thereof.
5. The plant part of claim 4 , wherein said part is a head.
6. A lettuce plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the lettuce plant of claim 2 .
7. A plant part from the plant of claim 6 .
8. The plant part of claim 7 , wherein said part is a head, a leaf, or a portion thereof.
9. The plant part of claim 8 , wherein said part is a head.
10. An F 1 hybrid lettuce plant having ‘Paonia’ as a parent where ‘Paonia’ is grown from the seed of claim 1 .
11. A pollen grain or an ovule of the plant of claim 2 .
12. A tissue culture of the plant of claim 2 .
13. A lettuce plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 12 , wherein
the plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of a lettuce plant produced by growing seed designated as ‘Paonia’, representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 44018.
14. A method of making lettuce seeds, said method comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with another lettuce plant and harvesting seed therefrom.
15. A method of making a lettuce variety designated as ‘Paonia’, said method comprising
selecting seeds from the cross of one ‘Paonia’ plant with another ‘Paonia’ plant, a sample of ‘Paonia’ lettuce seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession Number 44018.
