Abstract

The present invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum seed designated 72-MP0029 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant produced by growing the 72-MP0029 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the tomato cultivar, represented by tomato variety 72-MP0029 RZ.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A seed of Solanum lycopersicum hybrid variety 72-MP0029 RZ, a representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44253.

2 . A hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant grown from seed of claim 1 .

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

4 . A part of the hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant of claim 2 , wherein said plant part comprises, an ovary, an embryo sac, a cutting, a leaf, a cotyledon, a hypocotyl, a meristematic cell, a root, a root tip, a rootstock, a scion, an anther, a flower, a fruit, or a stem.

5 . A Solanum lycopersicum plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the tomato plant of claim 2 , wherein the physiological and morphological characteristics are as found in hybrid tomato 72-MP0029 RZ, a representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44253, or a part of said tomato plant.

6 . A tissue culture of regenerable cells or protoplasts from the plant or plant part of claim 3 wherein said cells or protoplasts of the tissue culture are derived from an ovary, an embryo sac, a cutting, a leaf, a cotyledon, a hypocotyl, a meristematic cell, a root, a root tip, an anther, a flower, or a stem.

7 . A Solanum lycopersicum plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 6 , wherein the regenerated plant expresses all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0029 RZ, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44253.

8 . A Solanum lycopersicum plant comprising the scion or rootstock of claim 4 .

9 . A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0029 RZ comprising the steps of: (a) collecting tissue from a plant of hybrid tomato variety 72-MP0029 RZ, a representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44253; and (b) producing a rooted plant from said tissue.

10 . A method for producing a progeny plant of the Solanum lycopersicum plant of claim 2 , comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with itself or with another Solanum lycopersicum plant, harvesting the resultant seed, and growing said seed.

11 . A progeny of the Solanum lycopersicum plant produced by the method of claim 10 , wherein said progeny exhibits all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant of claim 2 , a representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44253.

12 . A method for producing a seed of a 72-MP0029 RZ-derived tomato plant comprising (a) crossing a plant of tomato variety 72-MP0029 RZ, a representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44253, with itself or with a second tomato plant, and (b) whereby seed of a 72-MP0029 RZ-derived tomato plant forms.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising (c) crossing a plant grown from 72-MP0029 RZ-derived Solanum lycopersicum seed with itself or with a second tomato plant to yield additional 72-MP0029 RZ-derived Solanum lycopersicum seed, (d) growing the additional 72-MP0029 RZ-derived Solanum lycopersicum seed of step (c) to yield an additional 72-MP0029 RZ-derived Solanum lycopersicum plant, and (e) repeating the crossing and growing of steps (c) and (d) for an additional 3-10 generations to generate a further 72-MP0029 RZ-derived Solanum lycopersicum plant, and (f) allowing seed of the further 72-MP0029 RZ-derived Solanum lycopersicum plant to form.

14 . A method of producing a plant of hybrid Solanum lycopersicum variety 72-MP0029 RZ-derived 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-MP0029 RZ-derived, a representative sample of seed having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 44253.

15 . A method of producing a tomato fruit comprising: (a) obtaining a plant according to claim 2 , wherein the plant has been cultivated to develop fruit; and (b) harvesting a tomato fruit from the plant.

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

17 . A fruit produced by the method of claim 15 , wherein the physiological and morphological characteristics of the fruit are as found in tomato variety 72-MP0029 RZ.

18 . A container comprising one or more tomato fruits, wherein the one or more tomato fruits are according to claim 17 .
