  • Inbred squash line 833
    Patent number: 6916974
    Abstract: An inbred squash line, designated 833, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred squash line 833, to the plants of inbred squash line 833 and to methods for producing a squash plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line 833 with itself or another squash line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a squash 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 squash lines derived from the inbred 833.
