Abstract
A method for producing grain with improved feed traits is presented, whereby the feed trait is introduced directly into the grain through pollen applied from a donor source produced separate from the farmer's field, applied to the farmers field at the proper time, thereby eliminating multiple steps of trait introgression currently in practice for such grain production.
Claims17
A method of producing maize grain comprising contacting a pollen recipient plant with a pollen formulation and harvesting grain comprising at least one genetically modified locus which confers an improved grain feed trait from the pollen recipient plant, wherein the pollen recipient plant lacks said genetically modified locus.
A grain lot comprising harvested grain comprising a maize pollen recipient plant genome and a paternal genome comprising at least one genetically modified locus which confers an improved grain feed trait.
