Abstract
A wheat cultivar, designated LA01425, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of wheat cultivar LA01425, to the plants of wheat LA01425, and to methods for producing a wheat plant produced by crossing wheat cultivar LA01425 with itself or another wheat variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a wheat plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic wheat plants and plant parts produced by those methods. The invention also relates to wheat varieties or breeding varieties and plant parts derived from wheat cultivar LA01425, to methods for producing other wheat varieties, lines or plant parts derived from wheat cultivar LA01425, and to the wheat plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing wheat cultivar LA01425 with another wheat cultivar.
Core Innovation
The invention relates to a wheat cultivar, designated LA01425, encompassing its seeds, plants, and methods for producing a wheat plant by crossing LA01425 with itself or other wheat varieties. It includes methods for producing transgenic wheat plants containing one or more transgenes, and plant parts derived from LA01425, as well as methods for producing hybrid wheat seeds and plants by crossing LA01425 with another wheat cultivar.
The invention addresses the problem within wheat breeding programs of developing new, unique, and superior wheat cultivars that combine improved traits such as yield, quality, disease and insect resistance, drought and heat tolerance, and agronomic performance. Conventional breeding involves complex and time-consuming processes with unpredictable genetic outcomes. The invention provides a defined cultivar, LA01425, which has demonstrated uniformity, stability, and specific physiological and morphological characteristics suitable for fall planting in the Midwest and Eastern United States, thus offering a reliable genetic resource for breeding and hybrid production.
Claims Coverage
The patent includes 23 claims with multiple inventive features related to wheat cultivar LA01425, including the seed, plant, tissue culture, methods of crossing, and introduction of desired traits.
Seed of wheat cultivar LA01425
A seed of the wheat cultivar LA01425, with a representative sample deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-11995.
Plant produced from LA01425 seed
A wheat plant or part thereof produced by growing the seed of LA01425.
Tissue culture derived from LA01425
A tissue culture produced from protoplasts or cells from parts of the plant of LA01425, capable of regenerating plants with substantially the same genotype and characteristics.
Regenerated wheat plant from tissue culture
A wheat plant regenerated from the tissue culture derived from LA01425.
Method of producing wheat seed involving LA01425
A method for producing a wheat seed by crossing two wheat plants where at least one is a plant of LA01425, and harvesting the resultant seed.
Production of herbicide resistant wheat plants
Methods of producing herbicide resistant wheat plants by introducing a gene conferring herbicide resistance into LA01425, with resistance to specified herbicides including glyphosate and others.
Production of pest or insect resistant wheat plants
Methods of producing pest or insect resistant wheat plants by introducing a gene conferring such resistance into LA01425, including genes encoding Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxins.
Production of disease resistant wheat plants
Methods of producing disease resistant wheat plants by introducing genes conferring resistance into LA01425.
Production of wheat plants with modified metabolism
Methods of producing wheat plants with modified fatty acid, carbohydrate, or protein metabolism by introduction of genes encoding relevant proteins or antisense sequences into LA01425.
Method of introducing desired traits into LA01425
A method involving crossing LA01425 with another wheat cultivar possessing desired traits such as male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, modified metabolism, water stress tolerance, and disease resistance; selecting progeny with the trait; backcrossing to LA01425; and repeating selection to produce progeny with the trait and LA01425 characteristics.
The claims comprehensively cover the wheat cultivar LA01425 including the seed, plant, tissue culture, methods of propagation, and genetic modification for traits such as herbicide resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, metabolic modifications, and male sterility, emphasizing the cultivar as a breeding tool and a subject of genetic improvements.
Stated Advantages
Wheat cultivar LA01425 demonstrates uniformity and stability with defined physiological and morphological characteristics.
LA01425 performs well in yield and test weight across multiple locations and compares favorably to existing commercial cultivars.
The cultivar provides a reliable and uniform genetic resource useful in breeding, including selfing, backcrosses, hybrid production, and transformation methods.
Documented Applications
Production of grain for human consumption and silage harvested in the soft dough stage.
Use as a breeding parent for developing new wheat cultivars through selfing, backcrossing, hybrid breeding, and other breeding methods.
Development of transgenic wheat plants with traits such as herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and metabolic modifications.
Use in tissue culture for regeneration of plants having the characteristics of LA01425.
