Abstract
An inbred corn line, designated 6RT321, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line 6RT321, to the plants of inbred corn line 6RT321 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line 6RT321 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 6RT321.
Claims22
Seed of corn inbred line designated 6RT321, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______.
A method for producing inbred 6RT321, 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 6RT321, 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 6RT321-derived corn plant, comprising:
- a) crossing inbred corn line 6RT321, 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 6RT321-derived corn plant;
- c) crossing said 6RT321-derived corn plant with itself or another corn plant to yield additional 6RT321-derived progeny corn seed;
- d) growing said progeny corn seed of step (c) under plant growth conditions, to yield additional 6RT321-derived corn plants;
- and
- e) repeating the crossing and growing steps of (c) and (d) from 0 to 7 times to generate further 6RT321-derived corn plants.
