Abstract

The present invention provides novel garden bean cultivar Greenback and plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom. The invention also provides methods for producing a bean plant by crossing the bean plants of the invention with themselves or another bean plant. The invention also provides bean plants produced from such a crossing as well as plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seed of bean cultivar Greenback, a representative sample of seed of said cultivar having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-125579.

2. A plant of bean cultivar Greenback, a representative sample of seed of said bean cultivar having been deposited under ATCC Accession No PTA-125579.

3. A bean plant, or a plant part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the bean plant of claim 2 .

4. An F1 progeny bean plant of the plant of claim 2 .

5. A doubled haploid bean plant produced from the plant of claim 2 .

6. A plant part of the bean plant of claim 2 .

7. The plant part of claim 6 , wherein the plant part is a pod, a berry, pollen, an ovule, an anther, or a cell.

8. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 2 .

9. A bean plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 8 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein said bean plant or selfed progeny thereof comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of bean cultivar Greenback.

10. A processed product from the plant of claim 2 , wherein said insert processed product comprises dehydrated, cut, sliced, ground, pureed, dried, canned, jarred, washed, brined, packaged, refrigerated, frozen and/or heated pods, berries or seeds.

11. A method of producing seed, the method comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with itself or a second bean plant and harvesting the resulting seed.

12. An F1 seed produced by the method of claim 11 .

13. An F1 plant produced by growing the seed of claim 12 .

14. A method for producing a seed of a bean plant derived from the plant of claim 2 , the method comprising:
(a) crossing a plant of bean cultivar Greenback, a representative sample of seed of said bean cultivar having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-125579 with a second bean plant;
(b) allowing seed to form;
(c) growing a plant from the seed of step (b) to produce a plant derived from bean cultivar Greenback;
(d) selfing the plant of step (c) or crossing it to a second bean plant to form additional bean seed derived from bean cultivar Greenback; and
(e) optionally repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times to generate further derived bean seed from bean cultivar Greenback, wherein in step (c) a plant is grown from the additional bean seed of step (d) in place of growing a plant from the seed of step (b).

15. An F1 progeny seed produced by the method of claim 14 .

16. A plant produced by growing the seed of claim 15 .

17. A method of vegetatively propagating the plant of claim 2 , the method comprising:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of bean cultivar Greenback, a representative sample of seed of said bean cultivar having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-125579;
(b) cultivating the tissue to obtain proliferated shoots;
(c) rooting the proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets; and
(d) optionally, growing plants from the rooted plantlets.

18. Plantlets or plants obtained by the method of claim 17 , wherein the plantlets or plants comprise all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of bean cultivar Greenback.

19. A method of introducing a desired added trait into bean cultivar Greenback, the method comprising:
(a) crossing the plant of claim 2 with a bean plant that comprises a desired added trait to produce F1 progeny;
(b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired added trait;
(c) crossing the selected F1 progeny with bean cultivar Greenback to produce backcross progeny;
(d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired added trait; and
(e) optionally repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times to produce a plant derived from bean cultivar Greenback comprising the desired added trait and essentially all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of bean cultivar Greenback, wherein in step (c) the selected backcross progeny produced in step (d) is used in place of the selected F1 progeny of step (b).

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the desired added trait is male sterility, pest resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, herbicide resistance, or any combination thereof.

21. A bean plant produced by the method of claim 20 , wherein the bean plant has the desired added trait and otherwise all of the morphological and physiological characteristic of bean cultivar Greenback.

22. Seed that produces the plant of claim 21 .

23. A method of producing a plant of bean cultivar Greenback comprising a desired added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired added trait into the plant of claim 2 .

24. A bean plant produced by the method of claim 23 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein the bean plant or selfed progeny thereof has the desired added trait and otherwise all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of bean cultivar Greenback.

25. Seed of the plant of claim 24 , wherein the seed produces a plant that has the desired added trait and all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of bean cultivar Greenback.

26. A method of producing a bean pod, the method comprising:
(a) growing the bean plant according to claim 2 to produce a bean pod; and
(b) harvesting the bean pod.

27. A method of producing a processed product from bean cultivar Greenback, the method comprising:
(a) obtaining a pod of the plant of claim 2 ; and
(b) processing said pod to produce a processed product.

28. A method of producing a seed from bean cultivar Greenback, the method comprising:
(a) obtaining a pod of the plant of claim 2 ; and
(b) processing said pod to produce a seed.
