Abstract:
1. A carrot plant, the roots of which comprise an average lycopene content from about 110 ppm to about 250 ppm and an average brix content from about 11° brix to about 20° brix, wherein the lycopene content of the plant is at least about 110% of the average lycopene content of roots of the carrot variety Nutri-red when the plant and Nutri-red are grown under the same conditions, and wherein said carrot plant comprises the genetic source for expressing the lycopene content in a carrot variety selected from the group consisting of red carrot hybrid 0710 0325, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8643; red carrot hybrid 0710 0339, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8644; red carrot hybrid 0710 0346, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8645; red carrot hybrid 710313, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7904; red carrot hybrid 710305, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7908; red carrot hybrid 710316, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7905; red carrot hybrid 710319, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7906; red carrot hybrid 710311, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7907; red carrot hybrid 710304, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8121; red carrot hybrid 710310, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8122; and red carrot hybrid 710303, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8123; line RN 71-4963C, a sample of the seed of which has been ATCC Accession No. PTA-8647; line RN 71-4904C, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8648; line RF 71-4911A, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8642; line RF 71-4912A, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8646; line RIF 71-4966C, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8651; line RIF 71-4967B, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8650; and line RIF 71-4968B, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8649.
