Abstract

The disclosure provides a new and distinct hybrid melon variety NUN 75015 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 75015 MEM is a yellow canary melon variety with crispy flesh, comprising resistance to Fusarium oxysporum melonis Race 0, and Race 2, and Podosphaera xanthii Race 1 and Race 2.

Claims

1. A plant, plant part, or seed of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

2. The plant part of claim 1, wherein said plant part is a leaf, pollen, an ovule, a cell, a fruit, a scion, a root, a rootstock, a cutting, or a flower.

3. A seed that produces the plant of claim 1.

4. A seed grown on the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant grown from said seed does not differ from the plant of claim 1 when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level when grown under the same environmental conditions.

5. A melon plant having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1.

6. A melon plant or a part thereof derived from the plant of claim 1 which does not differ from the plant of claim 1, when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seed of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

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

8. The tissue or cell culture according to claim 7, comprising cells or protoplasts from a plant part suitable for vegetative reproduction, wherein the plant part is an embryo, a meristem, a fruit, a leaf, pollen, an ovule, a cell, a petiole, a shoot, a stem, a root, a root tip, a cutting, a hypocotyl, a cotyledon, a scion, a stock, a rootstock, a pistil, an anther, a flower, a seed, a stem, or a stalk.

9. A melon plant regenerated from the tissue or cell culture of claim 7, wherein the plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of variety NUN NUN 75015 MEM, when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level for plants grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

10. A method of producing the plant claim 1 or a part thereof, said method comprising vegetatively propagating at least a part of the plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein said vegetative propagation comprises regenerating a whole plant from said part of the plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

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

13. A vegetatively propagated plant of claim 1, or a part thereof, wherein the vegetatively propagated plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level for plants grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

14. A method of producing a melon plant, said method comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with a second plant at least once, and selecting a progeny melon plant from said crossing and optionally allowing the progeny melon plant to form seed.

15. A first generation progeny plant of the plant of claim 1, obtained by selfing or cross-pollinating the plant of claim 1 with another melon plant, wherein said progeny plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level for plants grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

16. A melon plant derived from the plant of claim 1 having one physiological or morphological characteristic which is different from the plant of claim 1 and which otherwise has all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level for plants grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

17. The plant of claim 1, further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein said plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level for plants grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______, optionally wherein the single locus conversion confers male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, modified protein metabolism, or ripening.

18. A method of producing doubled haploid cells of the plant of claim 1, said method comprising making double haploid cells from haploid cells from the plant or seed of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______.

19. A method of grafting the scion or rootstock of the plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, said method comprising attaching tissue from the scion or rootstock of claim 2 to the tissue of a second plant, and optionally regenerating a plant therefrom.

20. A container comprising the plant, plant part or seed of claim 1.

21. A food, or a feed product, or a processed product comprising the plant part of claim 2, wherein the plant part is a fruit or a part thereof.

22. A method of producing a melon plant having a desired trait, said method comprising mutating a plant of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM and selecting a mutated plant with a desired trait, wherein the mutated plant contains the desired trait and retains all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of melon variety NUN 75015 MEM, when the characteristics are determined at the 5% significance level for plants grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein a representative sample of seed of said melon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB ______, and wherein the desired trait is male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, modified protein metabolism, or ripening.
