A novel maize variety designated X08P405 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are produced by crossing inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant by crossing hybrid maize variety X08P405 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X08P405 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X08P405, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X08P405 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X08P405 and methods of using maize variety X08P405 are disclosed.
A seed of hybrid maize variety X08P405, representative seed produced by crossing a first plant of variety PH4CF1 with a second plant of variety PH4CTK, wherein representative seed of the varieties PH4CF1 and PH4CTK have been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202204019 and 202205187, respectively.
A seed of hybrid maize variety X08P405, representative seed produced by crossing a first plant of variety PH4CF1 with a second plant of variety PH4CTK, wherein representative seed of the varieties PH4CF1 and PH4CTK have been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202204019 and 202205187, respectively, further comprising a transgene, wherein the transgene is introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation into the variety PH4CF1, the variety PH4CTK, or both varieties PH4CF1 and PH4CTK.
A seed of hybrid maize variety X08P405 further comprising a locus conversion, wherein the locus conversion is introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation, wherein a plant grown from the seed comprises a trait conferred by the locus conversion, and wherein the seed is produced by crossing a first plant of variety PH4CF1 with a second plant of variety PH4CTK, wherein the first plant, the second plant or both further comprise the single locus conversion, and wherein representative seed of the varieties PH4CF1 and PH4CTK have been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202204019 and 202205187, respectively, and wherein the seed produces a plant having otherwise all the physiological and morphological characteristics as maize variety X08P405 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

The goal of hybrid development is to combine, in a single hybrid, various desirable traits. For field crops, these traits may include resistance to diseases and insects, resistance to heat and drought, reducing the time to crop maturity, greater yield, and better agronomic quality. With mechanical harvesting of many crops, uniformity of plant characteristics such as germination, stand establishment, growth rate, maturity, and plant and ear height is important. Traditional plant breeding is an important tool in developing new and improved commercial crops.
Provided is a novel maize, Zea mays L., variety, seed, plant, cells and its parts designated as X08P405, produced by crossing two maize inbred varieties. The hybrid maize variety X08P405, the seed, the plant and its parts produced from the seed, and variants, mutants and minor modifications of maize X08P405 are provided. Processes are provided for making a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X08P405 through locus conversion, backcrossing and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant parts produced thereby. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from hybrid maize variety X08P405 are also provided. Also provided are maize plants having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the hybrid maize variety X08P405.
The hybrid maize plant may further comprise a cytoplasmic or nuclear factor capable of conferring male sterility or otherwise preventing self-pollination, such as by self-incompatibility. Parts of the maize plants disclosed herein are also provided, for example, pollen obtained from a hybrid plant and an ovule of the hybrid plant. Seed of the hybrid maize variety X08P405 is provided and may be provided as a population of maize seed of the variety designated X08P405.
A new and distinctive maize hybrid variety designated X08P405, which has been the result of years of careful breeding and selection in a comprehensive maize breeding program is provided.
Maize, Zea mays L., can be referred to as maize or corn. Certain definitions used in the specification are provided below. Also in the examples that follow, a number of terms are used herein. In order to provide a clear and consistent understanding of the specification and claims, including the scope to be given such terms, the following definitions are provided. NOTE: ABS is in absolute terms and % MN is percent of the mean for the experiments in which the inbred or hybrid was grown. PCT designates that the trait is calculated as a percentage. % NOT designates the percentage of plants that did not exhibit a trait. For example, STKLDG % NOT is the percentage of plants in a plot that were not stalk lodged. These designators will follow the descriptors to denote how the values are to be interpreted. Below are the descriptors used in the data tables included herein.
BRITTLE STALK: A count of the number of “snapped” plants per plot following machine snapping or artificial selection pressure. A snapped plant has its stalk completely snapped at a node between the base of the plant and the node above the ear. Can be expressed as percent of plants that did not snap.
