Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of Lactuca sativa , in particular to a new variety of lettuce designated NUN 06524 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 06524 LTL, wherein a representative sample of said seed has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42620.

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 06524 LTL, wherein a representative sample of said seed has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42620.

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 when 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 variety NUN 06524 LTL, wherein a representative sample of said seed has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 42620 when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein the distinguishing characteristics are defined as 1) an average spread of frame leaves of mature plant of about 32 cm (e.g. between 32−5% and 32+5%); 2) an average head weight of mature plant of about 394 g (e.g. between 394−5% and 394+5%); 3) an average diameter of core at base of head of about 21 mm (e.g. between 21−5% and 21+5%); 4) an average core height from base to head of apex of about 50 mm (e.g. between 50−5% and 50+5%); 5) a mature leaf margin indentation (finest divisions of the margin) of type 4 (crenate); 6) a mature leaf margin incision depth (deepest penetration of the margin) of type 2 (moderate); 7) absent blistering of the mature leaf; 8) slight cupping of the fourth leaf; 9) a fourth leaf apical margin of type 5 (coarsely dentate); and 10) a mature leaf glossiness of type 1 (dull).

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.
