Abstract
The present invention provides an inbred corn line designated ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 with plants of another corn plant. The invention further encompasses all parts of inbred corn line ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052, including culturable cells. Additionally provided herein are methods for introducing transgenes into inbred corn line ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052, and plants produced according to these methods.
Claims20
A seed of maize variety ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052, wherein representative seed of said maize variety ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-______.
A plant of maize variety ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052, wherein representative seed of said maize variety ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-______.
A converted seed, plant, plant part or plant cell of maize variety ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052, representative seed of the maize variety ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-______, wherein the converted seed, plant, plant part or plant cell comprises a locus conversion, and wherein the plant or a plant grown from the converted seed, plant part or plant cell comprises the locus conversion and otherwise comprises the phenotypic characteristics of maize variety ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A process of introducing an additional trait into maize plant ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 comprising:
- (a) crossing ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 plants grown from ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 seeds, representative seeds deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-______, with plants of another maize variety that comprise an additional trait to produce hybrid progeny plants, (b) selecting hybrid progeny plants that have the additional trait to produce selected hybrid progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the additional trait to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) at least three or more times to produce backcross progeny plants that comprise the additional trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of maize inbred plant ZEFF6849, ZECI6815, and ZEID6052 when grown in the same environmental conditions.
