The invention relates to the seeds, plants, and plant parts of Long Stem lettuce plants and to methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing Long Stem lettuce with itself or another lettuce cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a lettuce plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic lettuce plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to lettuce cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from Long Stem lettuce to methods for producing other lettuce cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from Long Stem lettuce and to the lettuce plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods.
