Abstract

The present invention provides novel tomato hybrid HN5003 or line SENG9234 and plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom. The invention also provides methods for producing a tomato plant by crossing the tomato plants of the invention with themselves or another tomato plant. The invention also provides tomato 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 that produces tomato hybrid HN5003, a representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43380.

2. A plant of tomato hybrid HN5003 produced from the seed of claim 1 .

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

4. A seed that produces the plant of claim 3 .

5. A plant part of the plant of claim 2 .

6. The plant part of claim 5 , wherein the plant part is a leaf, a fruit, an F1 seed, a shoot, pollen, an ovule, an anther, a root, a rootstock, a scion, or a cell.

7. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the tomato plant of claim 2 .

8. A tomato plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 7 , wherein said tomato plant comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato hybrid HN5003.

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

10. An F1 seed produced by the method of claim 9 .

11. A tomato plant, or part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 10 .

12. A grafted tomato plant comprising a rootstock and a scion, wherein the plant of claim 2 is used as the scion and the rootstock is from a different tomato plant.

13. A method of producing a grafted tomato plant, the method comprising:
(a) providing a scion from the plant of claim 2 ; and
(b) grafting the scion to a rootstock from a different tomato plant.

14. A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant derived from the tomato hybrid HN5003, the method comprising:
(a) crossing the plant claim 2 with a different tomato plant;
(b) allowing seed to form;
(c) growing a plant from the seed of step (b) to produce a plant derived from tomato hybrid HN5003;
(d) selfing the plant of step (c) or crossing it to a second tomato plant to form additional tomato seed derived from tomato hybrid HN5003; and
(e) optionally repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times to generate further derived tomato seed from tomato hybrid HN5003, wherein in step (c) a plant is grown from the additional tomato seed of step (d) in place of growing a plant from the seed of step (b).

15. A method of vegetatively propagating tomato hybrid HN5003, the method comprising:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from the plant of claim 2 ;
(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.

16. A tomato plantlet or plant obtained by the method of claim 15 , wherein the tomato plantlet or plant comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato hybrid HN5003.

17. A plant of tomato hybrid HN5003 further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein said single locus conversion is introduced by backcrossing, genetic transformation or gene editing and wherein said plant otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato hybrid HN5003.

18. The plant of claim 17 , wherein the single locus conversion confers male sterility, insect resistance, nematode resistance, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, abiotic stress tolerance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, increased sweetness of the fruit, improved fruit ripening, increased flavonoid content of the fruit, modified fruit color, or any combination of the foregoing.

19. A seed that produces the plant of claim 18 .

20. A method of producing a plant of tomato hybrid HN5003 comprising a desired added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into the plant of claim 2 .

21. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 20 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein the tomato plant comprises the transgene and has the desired added trait, and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato hybrid HN5003.

22. A seed that produces the plant of claim 21 .

23. A method of producing a tomato fruit, the method comprising:
(a) growing the tomato plant according to claim 2 to produce a tomato fruit; and
(b) harvesting the tomato fruit.

24. A method of producing a processed tomato product, the method comprising:
(a) obtaining a fruit of the plant of claim 2 ; and
(b) processing said fruit to produce a processed product.
