Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of Lactuca sativa , in particular to a new variety of lettuce designated NUN 09070 LTL as well as seeds and plants and heads or leaves thereof.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A plant, plant part or seed of lettuce variety NUN 09070 LTL, wherein a representative sample of said seed has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42601.

2. A plant or part thereof grown from the seed of claim 1 .

3. The plant part of claim 2 , further defined as a leaf, head, pollen, stem, an ovule, a fruit, a scion, a rootstock, cutting, flower or a part of any of these or a cell.

4. A lettuce plant, or a part thereof which does not significantly differ from the plant of claim 2 in the characteristics described in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

5. A tissue or cell culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 2 .

6. The tissue or cell culture according to claim 5 , comprising cells or protoplasts from a plant part selected from the group consisting of embryos, meristems, cotyledons, hypocotyl, pollen, leaves, anthers, roots, root tips, pistil, petiole, flower, fruit, seed, stem and stalks.

7. A lettuce plant regenerated from the tissue or cell culture of claim 5 , wherein the plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 2 as listed in Table 1, when grown under the same environmental conditions, where numerical values are determined at the 5% significance level.

8. A method of producing the plant of claim 2 , or a part thereof, comprising vegetative propagation of the plant of claim 2 .

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein said vegetative propagation comprises regenerating a whole plant from a plant part of lettuce variety NUN 09070 LTL, wherein a representative sample of said seed has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42601.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein said part is a cutting, a cell culture or a tissue culture.

11. A vegetative propagated plant of claim 2 , or a part thereof, wherein the plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 2 when grown under the same environmental conditions, where numerical values are determined at the 5% significance level.

12. A method of producing a lettuce plant, comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with a second lettuce plant one or more times.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising a step of selecting progeny from said crossing.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising a step of allowing the progeny to form seed.

15. An F 1 progeny of the plant of claim 2 obtained by further breeding with said plant, the F 1 progeny having all or all but 1 , 2 , or 3 of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of claim 2 disclosed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

16. The F 1 progeny of claim 15 , wherein said progeny have all the distinguishing characteristics 1) to 5) or 1) to 10) of the lettuce plant of lettuce variety NUN 09070 LTL, wherein a representative sample of said seed has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42601 when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein the distinguishing characteristics are defined as 1) average spread of frame leaves; 2) average core height from base of head to apex; 3) average length/width index of fourth leaf; 4) typical fourth leaf shape; 5) blistering of the mature leaf; 6) indentation of the mature leaf; 7) mature head size class; 8) reflexing of the fourth leaf; 9) undulation of the fourth leaf; and 10) mature leaf size.

17. A lettuce plant having one, two or three physiological and/or morphological characteristics which are different from those of the plant of claim 2 and which otherwise has all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 2 as listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions, where numerical values are determined at the 5% significance level.

18. A food or feed product comprising the plant part of claim 3 wherein the plant part can be identified as a part of the plant of the invention.

19. A lettuce plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of the plant of claim 2 .

20. The plant of claim 2 further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein said plant has all or all but one, two or three of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of claim 2 , optionally wherein the single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism.

21. A plant comprising the scion or rootstock of claim 3 .
