Abstract

The present invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum seed designated 72-MP0026 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant produced by growing the 72-MP0026 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the tomato cultivar, represented by tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tomato plant of hybrid variety 72-MP0026 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921.

2. The plant as claimed in claim 1 , which is grown from seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921.

3. A seed of the plant of claim 1 .

4. A tomato plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the tomato plant of claim 1 , or a part thereof having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of hybrid variety 72-MP0026 RZ.

5. A tissue culture of regenerable cells or protoplasts from the plant part of claim 4 .

6. The tissue culture as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said cells or protoplasts of the tissue culture are obtained from a microspore, an ovary, an ovule, an embryo sac, an egg cell, a cutting, a leaf, pollen, a cotyledon, a hypocotyl, a meristematic cell, a root, a root tip, an anther, a flower, or a stem.

7. A tomato plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 5 , wherein the regenerated plant expresses all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921.

8. A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921; and
(b) producing a rooted plant from said tissue.

9. A method for producing a progeny plant of the tomato plant of claim 1 , comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or with another tomato plant, harvesting the resultant seed, and growing said seed.

10. A progeny of the tomato plant of claim 1 , having all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the hybrid tomato plant of claim 1 , representative seed of which hybrid tomato plant having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921.

11. A method for producing a seed of a 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato plant comprising
(a) crossing a plant of tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921, with itself or with a second tomato plant, and
(b) obtaining seed of a 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato plant.

12. The method of claim 11 further comprising (c) crossing a plant grown from 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato seed with itself or with a second tomato plant to yield additional 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato seed, (d) growing the additional 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato seed of step (c) to yield an additional 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato plant, (e) repeating the crossing and growing of steps (c) and (d) for an additional 3-10 generations to generate a further 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato plant, and (f) allowing seed of the further 72-MP0026 RZ-derived tomato plant to form.

13. A method of producing a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ comprising at least one new trait, the method comprising introducing a mutation or transgene conferring the at least one new trait into a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ, representative seed of which having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921.

14. A method of producing a tomato fruit comprising:
(a) obtaining the plant according to claim 1 , wherein the plant has been cultivated to develop fruit; and
(b) harvesting a tomato fruit from the plant.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising processing the harvested tomato fruit as a processed food product.

16. A method of determining the genotype of a plant of tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ, representative seed of which has been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43921, or a first generation progeny thereof, comprising
obtaining a sample of nucleic acids from said plant, or said first generation progeny thereof,
comparing said nucleic acids to a sample of nucleic acids obtained from a reference plant, and
detecting a plurality of polymorphisms between the two nucleic acid samples, thereby determining the genotype of a plant of tomato variety 72-MP0026 RZ.

17. The method of claim 16 additionally comprising a step of storing the results of detecting the plurality of polymorphisms on a computer readable medium, or transmitting the results of detecting the plurality of polymorphisms to a computer readable medium.
