Plants and seeds of corn variety cv479454

A method of introducing a single locus conversion into corn variety CV479454 comprising:

• (a) crossing a plant of variety CV479454 with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV479454 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______;
• (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the single locus to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
• (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with at least a first plant of variety CV479454 to produce backcross progeny plants;
• (d) selecting at least a first backcross progeny plant that has the single locus to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
• and
• (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) until at least a first progeny plant is produced that comprises the single locus and otherwise comprises the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn variety CV479454 when grown in the same environmental conditions.

A method of producing an inbred corn plant derived from the corn variety CV479454, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) preparing a progeny plant derived from corn variety CV479454 by crossing a plant of the corn variety CV479454 with a corn plant of a second variety, wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV479454 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______;
• (b) crossing the progeny plant with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;
• (c) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant;
• and
• (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) with sufficient inbreeding until an inbred corn plant derived from the corn variety CV479454 is produced.
