Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH796937. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH796937, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH796937 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH796937.
Claims21
A seed of the hybrid corn variety CH796937, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV342520 with a second plant of variety CV805067, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV342520 and CV805067 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-______ and PTA-10422, respectively.
A seed of the hybrid corn variety CH796937 comprising at least a first single locus conversion, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV342520 with a second plant of variety CV805067, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV342520 and CV805067 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-______ and PTA-10422, respectively, and wherein one or both of the first plant and second plant comprises the single locus conversion, and wherein a plant grown from said seed comprises a trait conferred by said at least a first single locus conversion and otherwise comprises essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH796937.
A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH796937 comprising the steps of:
- (a) introducing at least a first heritable trait into at least one inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of variety CV342520 and variety CV805067 to produce a plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait, wherein the heritable trait is introduced into said first inbred corn variety by backcrossing and wherein representative samples of seed of variety CV342520 and variety CV805067 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-______ and PTA-10422, respectively;
- and
- (b) crossing a plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait with a plant of a different variety selected from said group consisting of CV342520 and CV805067 to produce a plant of hybrid corn variety CH796937 comprising the heritable trait.
