  • Patent number: 6787685
    Abstract: An inbred carrot line, designated S-D813B, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred carrot line S-D813B, to the plants of inbred carrot line S-D813B and to methods for producing a carrot plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line S-D813B with itself or another carrot line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a carrot plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other inbred carrot lines derived from the inbred S-D813B.
