Abstract

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato hybrid SVTM9008 and tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTM9008 and 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 hybrid SVTM9008 and 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 plant of claim 1, wherein the plant is a plant of tomato hybrid SVTM9008, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125113.

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

6. The seed of claim 2, wherein the seed is a seed of tomato hybrid SVTM9008, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125113.

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

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

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

10. 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.

11. 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 otherwise comprising the morphological and physiological characteristics of the recurrent parent line used in step (a); and

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny.

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

13. A method of producing a tomato plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1.

14. A tomato plant produced by the method of claim 13.

19. A method for producing a seed of a tomato plant derived from at least one of tomato hybrid SVTM9008 or 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 hybrid SVTM9008 or tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant to form.

20. A method of producing a seed of a tomato hybrid SVTM9008 or tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) producing a tomato hybrid SVTM9008 or 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 hybrid SVTM9008 or tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant with itself or a different tomato plant to obtain a seed of a further tomato hybrid SVTM9008 or tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant.

21. The method of claim 20, the method further comprising repeating said producing and crossing steps of (a) and (b) using the seed from said step (b) for producing the tomato plant according to step (a) for at least one generation to produce a seed of an additional tomato hybrid SVTM9008 or tomato line PSQ-9Z15-9109-derived tomato plant.

22. 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.

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 line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125114, further comprising a transgene.

16. The plant of claim 15, 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.

17. 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.

18. The plant of claim 17, 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.
