Abstract

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109 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 line PSQ-9Z15-9109 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

Claims

1. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125114.

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-9Z15-9109.

4. The seed of claim 2, wherein the seed is a seed of said tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109.

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

6. A tomato plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1.

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

8. 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.

9. A method of introducing a trait into a tomato line, the method comprising:

(a) utilizing as a recurrent parent the plant of claim 1 by crossing said plant with a donor plant that comprises a trait to produce F₁ progeny;

(b) selecting an F₁ progeny that comprises the trait;

(c) backcrossing the selected F₁ 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

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprises the trait and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109.

10. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 9.

11. A method of producing a tomato plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene by genetic transformation or site-specific modification conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1.

12. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 11.

17. A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant derived from tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109, 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 line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant to form.

18. A method of producing a seed of a tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) producing a tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-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 line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant with itself or a different tomato plant to obtain a seed of a further tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant.

19. The method of claim 18, the method further comprising producing a tomato plant grown from the seed of said step (b) and crossing said tomato plant with itself or a different tomato plant to produce a seed of a further tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant.

20. 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.

13. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125114, further comprising a transgene.

14. The plant of claim 13, 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.

15. A tomato plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125114, further comprising a single locus conversion.

16. The plant of claim 15, 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.
