No spinach Spinacia oleracea seeds

摘要

The present invention relates to Spinach oleracea or spinach seeds substantially free of peel. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of producing spinach oleracea or spinach seeds substantially free of peel, and a spinachia oleracea or spinach plant capable of producing seeds substantially free of peel. Compared to Spinacha oleracea or spinach seeds surrounded by fruit skin, the substantially peelless Spinacha oleracea or spinach seeds of the present invention 1) reduce volume and weight during transport, storage and handling, 2) Provide one or more of reduced dormancy, 3) increased germination rate, 4) increased yield, and 5) reduced pathogen pressure. In particular, the present invention relates to a spinachia oleracea seed, wherein the seed is substantially decapitulated, and the seed is a female spinachia oleracea parent plant crossed with a male spinachia oleracea parent plant The female Spinacia oleracea parent is homozygously contained in its genome a recessive trait which substantially prevents the formation of the peel on the seed produced, and which is substantially equivalent to It can be obtained by harvesting no Spinacia oleracea seeds.
