Abstract
An inbred corn line, designated E24018, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line E24018, to the plants of inbred corn line E24018 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line E24018 with itself or another corn line. The invention 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 inbred corn lines derived from the inbred E24018.
Claims21
Seed of corn inbred line designated E24018, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______.
A method for producing inbred E24018, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______, comprising:
- a) planting a collection of seed comprising seed of a hybrid, one of whose parents is inbred E24018, said collection also comprising seed of said inbred;
- b) growing plants from said collection of seed;
- c) identifying inbred parent plants;
- d) controlling pollination in a manner which preserves the homozygosity of said inbred parent plant;
- and
- e) harvesting the resultant seed.
A method for producing a E24018-derived corn plant, comprising:
- a) crossing inbred corn line E24018, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC accession number ______, with a second corn plant to yield progeny corn seed;
- b) growing said progeny corn seed, under plant growth conditions, to yield said E24018-derived corn plant;
- c) crossing said E24018-derived corn plant with itself or another corn plant to yield additional E24018-derived progeny corn seed;
- d) growing said progeny corn seed of step (c) under plant growth conditions, to yield additional E24018-derived corn plants;
- and
- e) repeating the crossing and growing steps of (c) and (d) from 0 to 7 times to generate further E24018-derived corn plants.
