Abstract

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato hybrid SVTM9037, tomato line PSQ-9Z16-9140, and tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTM9037, tomato line PSQ-9Z16-9140, and tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250 and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a tomato plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTM9037, tomato line PSQ-9Z16-9140, and tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202209038.

2. A tomato seed that produces the plant of claim 1 .

3. The plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant is a plant of said tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250.

4. The plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant is a plant of tomato hybrid SVTM9037.

5. The seed of claim 2 , wherein the seed is a seed of said tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250.

6. The seed of claim 2 , wherein the seed is a seed of tomato hybrid SVTM9037.

7. A plant part of the plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant part comprises a cell of said plant.

8. A tomato plant having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 4 .

9. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 1 .

10. A method of vegetatively propagating the plant of claim 1 , the method comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from the plant of claim 1 ; and
(b) propagating a tomato plant from said tissue.

11. A method of introducing a trait into a tomato line, the method comprising:
(a) utilizing as a recurrent parent the plant of claim 3 by crossing said plant with a donor plant that comprises a trait to produce F 1 progeny;
(b) selecting an F 1 progeny that comprises the trait;
(c) backcrossing the selected F 1 progeny with a plant of the same line used as the recurrent parent in step (a) to produce backcross progeny;
(d) selecting a backcross progeny comprising the trait and otherwise comprising the morphological and physiological characteristics of the recurrent parent line used in step (a); and
(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny.

12. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 11 , wherein said plant comprises the trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250.

13. A method of producing a tomato plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1 .

14. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 13 , wherein said plant comprises the trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250 or tomato hybrid SVTM9037.

15. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202209038, wherein said first set of chromosomes further comprises a transgene.

16. The plant of claim 15 , wherein the transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism.

17. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202209038, wherein said first set of chromosomes further comprises a single locus conversion.

18. The plant of claim 17 , wherein the single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism.

19. A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant derived from at least one of tomato hybrid SVTM9037 or tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a different tomato plant; and
(b) allowing a seed of a tomato hybrid SVTM9037- or tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250-derived tomato plant to form.

20. A method of producing a seed of a tomato hybrid SVTM9037- or tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250-derived tomato plant, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) producing a tomato hybrid SVTM9037- or tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250-derived tomato plant from a seed produced by crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a different tomato plant; and
(b) crossing the tomato hybrid SVTM9037- or tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250-derived tomato plant with itself or a different tomato plant to obtain a seed of a further tomato hybrid SVTM9037- or tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250-derived tomato plant.

21. The method of claim 20 , the method further comprising repeating said producing and crossing steps of (a) and (b) using the seed from said step (b) for producing the tomato plant according to step (a) for at least one generation to produce a seed of an additional tomato hybrid SVTM9037- or tomato line PSQ-9Z20-9250-derived tomato plant.

22. A method of producing a tomato fruit, the method comprising:
(a) obtaining the plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant has been cultivated to maturity; and
(b) collecting a tomato fruit from the plant.

23. The tomato plant of claim 1 , wherein said plant is a hybrid tomato plant.

24. A tomato seed that produces that plant of claim 23 .
