Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated X21590. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety X21590, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety X21590 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 X21590.
Claims20
A seed of the hybrid corn variety X21590, produced by crossing a first plant of variety SLD04 with a second plant of variety XHD02LY, wherein representative seed of said varieties SLD04 and XHD02LY have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-123195 and PTA-12574, respectively.
A seed of the hybrid corn variety X21590 further comprising a transgene, the seed produced by crossing (a) a plant of variety SLD04, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, with a plant of variety XHD02LY, (b) a plant of variety XHD02LY, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, with a plant of variety SLD04, or (c) a plant of variety XHD02LY, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, with a plant of variety SLD04, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce a first or second plant further comprising said transgene and otherwise all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of corn variety XHD02LY or corn variety SLD04.
A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety X21590, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a first plant of a first inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of variety SLD04 and variety XHD02LY with another corn plant that heritably carries the trait to produce progeny plants, at least some of which heritably carry the trait, wherein representative samples of seed of variety SLD04 and variety XHD02LY have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-123195 and PTA-12574, 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 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 essentially all of the morphological and physical characteristics of the inbred corn variety;
- and
- (f) crossing a progeny plant of step (e) with a plant of the other inbred corn variety of the group consisting of SLD04 and XHD02LY to produce a plant comprising the trait and essentially all of the characteristics of hybrid corn variety X21590 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A method of introducing a desired trait into hybrid corn variety X21590 comprising the steps of:
- (a) introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a variety selected from the group consisting of SLD04 and XHD02LY to produce a transgenic plant heritably carrying the trait, representative seed of variety SLD04 and variety XHD02LY having been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-123195 and PTA-12574, respectively;
- and
- (b) crossing the transgenic plant or an isogenic progeny plant thereof with a plant of the other inbred corn variety to produce seed of the hybrid corn variety X21590 that heritably carries and expresses the transgene and otherwise has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety X21590 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
