Abstract
Inbred corn line, designated KL20746C1, is disclosed. The disclosure relates to the seeds of inbred corn line KL20746C1, to the plants and plant parts of inbred corn line KL20746C1 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing inbred corn line KL20746C1 with itself or another corn line. The disclosure also relates to products produced from the seeds, plants, or parts thereof, of inbred corn line KL20746C1 and/or of the hybrids produced using the inbred as a parent. The disclosure further relates to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other corn lines derived from inbred corn line KL20746C1.
Claims32
A seed of inbred corn line designated KL20746C1, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202604062.
A corn plant, or a part thereof, having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line KL20746C1, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202604062.
A method for producing inbred corn line KL20746C1, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202604062, the method comprising:
- (a) planting a collection of seeds comprising seed of a hybrid, one of whose parents is inbred corn line KL20746C1, the collection also comprising seed of the inbred corn line;
- (b) growing plants from the collection of seeds;
- (c) identifying the plants having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line KL20746C1 as inbred parent plants;
- (d) controlling pollination of the inbred parent plants in a manner that preserves the homozygosity of the inbred parent plants;
- and (e) harvesting the resultant seed and thereby producing an inbred corn line having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line KL20746C1.
A method of introducing one or more desired traits into inbred corn line KL20746C1, the method comprising:
- (a) crossing inbred corn line KL20746C1 plants grown from inbred corn line KL20746C1 seeds, wherein a representative sample of seed of the line was deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202604062, with plants of another corn line that comprise one or more desired traits to produce progeny plants, wherein the one or more desired traits are selected from the group consisting of male sterility, male fertility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, water stress tolerance, increased amylose starch and increased digestibility;
- (b) selecting progeny plants that have the one or more desired traits to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the inbred corn line KL20746C1 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the one or more desired traits to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the one or more desired traits and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line KL20746C1.
