Abstract

The invention provides seed and plants of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048 and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another tomato plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397.

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

3. The plant of claim 1 , which is an inbred.

4. The plant of claim 1 , which is a hybrid.

5. The seed of claim 2 , which is an inbred.

6. The seed of claim 2 , which is a hybrid.

7. A plant part of the plant of claim 1 .

8. The plant part of claim 7 , further defined as a leaf, an ovule, pollen, a fruit, or a cell.

9. A tissure culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 1 , said cells comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397.

10. The tissue culture according to claim 9 , comprising cells or protoplasts from a plant part selected from the group consisting of embryos, meristems, cotyledons, pollen, leaves, anthers, roots, root tips, pistil, flower, seed and stalks.

11. A tomato plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 9 , said plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397.

12. A method of vegetatively propagating the tomato plant of claim 1 comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from the plant according to claim 1 ;
(b) cultivating said tissue to obtain proliferated shoots; and
(c) rooting said proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising growing at least a first tomato plant from said rooted plantlets.

14. A method of introducing a desired trait into a tomato line comprising:
(a) utilizing as a recurrent parent a plant of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, by crossing a plant of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048 with a donor tomato plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397;
(b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
(c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of the same tomato line used as the recurrent parent in step (a) to produce backcross progeny;
(d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of the recurrent parent tomato line used in step (a); and
(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprises the desired trait, and otherwise comprises essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the recurrent parent tomato line used in step (a).

15. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 14 .

16. A method of producing a tomato plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing by genetic transformation a transgene conferring the trait into a plant of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397.

17. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 16 .

18. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397, further comprising a transgene.

19. The plant of claim 18 , 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.

20. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397, further comprising a single locus conversion.

21. The plant of claim 20 , 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.

22. A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant derived from tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) crossing the tomato plant according to claim 1 with itself or a second tomato plant; and
(b) allowing seed of a line PSQ9Z11-9048-derived tomato plant to form.

23. A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant derived from tomato line PSQ9Z11-9048, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121397, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) selfing the plant according to claim 1 to yield additional line PSQ9Z11-9048-derived tomato seed;
(b) growing said additional line PSQ9Z11-9048-derived tomato seed of step (a) to yield additional line PSQ9Z11-9048-derived tomato plants; and
(c) repeating the selfing and growing steps of (a) and (b) to generate at least a first further line PSQ9Z11-9048-derived tomato plant.

24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the second tomato plant is of an inbred tomato line.

25. The method of claim 23 , further comprising:
(d) crossing the further line PSQ9Z11-9048-derived tomato plant with a second tomato plant to produce seed of a hybrid progeny plant.

26. A method of producing a tomato seed comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second tomato plant and allowing seed to form.

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