PTA-123825 and PTA-126179, respectively. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The seed of claim 9, wherein said single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) A plant grown from the seed of claim 9, wherein said plant comprises said trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH101554. ### Claim 12 A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH101554, the method comprising the steps of: (a) introducing at least said heritable trait into a first inbred corn variety CV181138, a second inbred corn variety CV794818, or both inbred corn varieties CV181138 and CV794818 to produce plants of said inbred corn varieties that heritably carry said heritable trait, wherein said heritable trait is introduced into said inbred corn varieties by backcrossing, wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce an inbred corn variety further comprising said heritable trait, and wherein representative seeds of said inbred corn varieties CV181138 and CV794818 are deposited under ATCC Accession Nos. PTA-123825 and PTA-126179, respectively; and (b) producing a plant of hybrid corn variety CH101554 further comprising said heritable trait by crossing a plant of said first or said second inbred corn variety that heritably carries said heritable trait with a plant of a different inbred corn variety selected from a group consisting of inbred corn varieties CV181138 and CV794818, or crossing a plant of said first inbred corn variety and a plant of said second inbred corn variety that both heritably carry said heritable trait. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12 wherein said heritable trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12 further comprising repeating step (a) at least once to introduce at least a second heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH101554, wherein the second heritable trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 15 (depends on 2) A plant comprising a heritable trait, wherein said plant comprises said heritable trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of claim 2 when grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein said plant is produced by a method comprising the steps of: (a) introducing said heritable trait into a first inbred corn variety CV181138, a second inbred corn variety CV794818, or both inbred corn varieties CV181138 and CV794818 to produce plants of said inbred corn varieties that heritably carry said heritable trait, wherein said heritable trait is introduced into said inbred corn varieties by backcrossing, wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce an inbred corn variety further comprising said heritable trait and otherwise comprising all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of said inbred corn variety, and wherein representative seeds of said inbred corn varieties CV181138 and CV794818 are deposited under ATCC Accession Nos. PTA-123825 and PTA-126179, respectively; and (b) crossing a plant of said first or said second inbred corn variety that heritably carries said heritable trait with a plant of a different inbred corn variety selected from a group consisting of inbred corn varieties CV181138 and CV794818, or crossing a plant of said first inbred corn variety and a plant of said second inbred corn variety that both heritably carry said heritable trait. ### Claim 16 (depends on 2) A method of producing a progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH101554, wherein the method comprises applying plant breeding techniques to the plant of claim 2 to produce said progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH101554. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein said plant breeding techniques comprise backcrossing, marker assisted breeding, pedigree breeding, selfing, outcrossing, haploid production, doubled haploid production, or transformation. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising the steps of: (a) crossing said progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH101554 with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation; (b) growing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation from said seed of the progeny plant of the subsequent generation; and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for at least an additional 3-10 generations to produce a progeny corn plant further derived from the hybrid corn variety CH101554. ### Claim 19 (depends on 2) A method of producing a commodity plant product, the method comprising obtaining the plant of claim 2 or a plant part thereof and producing said commodity plant product therefrom, wherein said plant part comprises a cell of hybrid corn variety CH101554. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein said commodity plant product is grain, starch, seed oil, corn syrup, or protein.
