Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated X12421. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety X12421, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety X12421 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety X12421.
Claims20
A seed of the hybrid corn variety X12421, produced by crossing a first plant of variety D065125 with a second plant of variety XHK20, wherein representative seed of said varieties D065125 and XHK20 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12598 and PTA-9812, respectively.
A seed of the hybrid corn variety X12421 produced by crossing a first plant of variety D065125 with a second plant of variety XHK20, wherein representative seed of said varieties D065125 and XHK20 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12598 and PTA-9812, respectively, and further comprising at least a first transgene.
A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety X12421 comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a plant of a first inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of variety D065125 and variety XHK20 with another corn plant that heritably carries the trait to produce progeny plants, at least some of said progeny plants heritably carrying the trait, wherein representative samples of seed of variety D065125 and variety XHK20 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12598 and PTA-9812, respectively;
- (b) selecting progeny plants that heritably carry the trait;
- (c) crossing selected progeny plants with another plant of the first inbred corn variety to produce next-generation progeny plants, at least some of which heritably carry the trait;
- (d) selecting next-generation progeny plants that heritably carry the trait and exhibit the morphological and physiological characteristics of the first inbred corn variety;
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce at least a first selected progeny plant that heritably carries the trait and otherwise exhibits the morphological and physical characteristics of the first inbred corn variety;
- and
- (f) crossing the selected progeny plant of step (e) with a plant of the second inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of D065125 and XHK20 to produce a plant comprising the trait and otherwise exhibiting the morphological and physical characteristics of hybrid corn variety X12421 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A method of introducing a desired trait into hybrid corn variety X12421 comprising the steps of:
- (a) introducing a transgene conferring the trait into an inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of D065125 and XHK20 to produce a transgenic plant heritably carrying the trait, representative seed of variety D065125 and variety XHK20 having been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12598 and PTA-9812, respectively;
- and
- (b) crossing the transgenic plant or an isogenic progeny plant thereof with a plant of the other inbred corn variety to produce a plant of the hybrid corn variety X12421 that heritably carries and expresses the transgene and otherwise has of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety X12421 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
