Abstract

The invention provides seed and plants of cucumber hybrid SV4220CS and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of cucumber hybrid SV4220CS and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a cucumber plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another cucumber 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.

11. The plant part of claim 10, further defined as a leaf, an ovule, pollen, a fruit, or a cell.

12. A cucumber plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the cucumber plant of claim 7.

13. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 1, said cells comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121433.

14. The tissue culture according to claim 13, 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.

15. A cucumber plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 13.

16. A method of vegetatively propagating the cucumber plant of claim 1, said method 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.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising growing at least a first cucumber plant from said rooted plantlets.

28. A plant part of the plant of claim 7, wherein the plant part comprises a cell of cucumber hybrid SV4220CS.

29. The plant part of claim 28, further defined as a leaf, an ovule, pollen, a fruit, or a cell.

30. A method of producing a cucumber seed, said method comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second cucumber plant and allowing seed to form.

31. A method of producing a cucumber fruit, said method comprising:

(a) obtaining the plant according to claim 1, wherein the plant has been cultivated to maturity; and

(b) collecting a cucumber from the plant.

2. A seed comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121433.

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

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

8. The seed of claim 6, defined as a seed of cucumber hybrid SV4220CS, a sample of seed of said hybrid SV4220CS having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121513.

9. The seed of claim 2, defined as a seed of line ASL-M3092044MO.

18. A method of introducing a desired trait into a cucumber line, said method comprising:

(a) crossing a plant of line ASL-M3092044MO with a second cucumber 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-121433;

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

(c) backcrossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of line ASL-M3092044MO to produce backcross progeny;

(d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait; and

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of line ASL-M3092044MO.

19. A method of producing a cucumber plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a plant of cucumber hybrid SV4220CS, or cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO, a sample of seed of said hybrid and line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121513, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-121433, respectively.

20. A plant of cucumber hybrid SV4220CS or cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO, further comprising a transgene wherein the plant otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber hybrid SV4220CS or cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO.

21. The plant of claim 20, 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.

22. A plant produced by introducing a single locus conversion into a plant of cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO, wherein the converted plant comprises the single locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO, a sample of seed of cucumber line ASL-M3092044MO having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121433.

23. The plant of claim 22, 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.
