The invention relates to the plants and seeds of inbred corn line RQQ071 and methods for producing a corn plant by crossing inbred corn line RQQ071 with itself or with another corn plant. The invention also relates to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more additional traits and to the corn plants and plant parts produced by those methods. The invention also relates to corn plants and plant parts derived from inbred corn line RQQ071 and to methods for producing other corn plants or plant parts derived from inbred corn line RQQ071, and to the corn plants and parts derived from those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid corn seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing inbred corn line RQQ071 or a locus conversion of RQQ071 with another corn line. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of inbred corn line RQQ071, wherein a representative sample of seed of said inbred corn line is to be deposited under American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Accession No. PTA-______. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The plant part of claim 1, wherein the plant part is an ovule or pollen. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) An F1 hybrid corn seed produced by crossing the plant or plant part of claim 1 with a different corn plant. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) An F1 hybrid corn plant or plant part produced by growing the corn seed of claim 3, wherein the plant part comprises at least one cell of said F1 hybrid corn plant. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) A method for producing a second corn plant, said method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the F1 hybrid corn plant or plant part of claim 4 to produce the second corn plant. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) A method for producing a second corn plant or plant part, said method comprising: (a) crossing the corn plant or plant part of claim 4 with an inducer variety to produce haploid seed; and (b) doubling the haploid seed to produce the second corn plant or plant part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A method of producing a corn plant derived from inbred corn line RQQ071, said method comprising: (a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second corn plant to produce progeny seed; (b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed; and (c) repeating step (b) for at least one additional generation to produce a corn plant derived from inbred corn line RQQ071. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) A method of producing a commodity plant product, comprising obtaining the plant or plant part of claim 4 and producing the commodity plant product from said plant or plant part, wherein said commodity plant product is selected from the group consisting of livestock feed, grain, silage, starch, fat, ethanol, biomass, oil, meal, flour, syrup, protein, sugar, grits, dextrose, germ, biofuel and refined chemicals. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A method for producing nucleic acids, said method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 1. ### Claim 10 A seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of inbred corn line RQQ071 further comprising a locus conversion, wherein representative seed of said line will be deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-______, and wherein said plant or a plant grown from said seed, plant part, or plant cell otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of inbred corn line RQQ071 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 10, wherein the locus conversion comprises a transgene. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 10, wherein the locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance and disease resistance. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) A corn seed produced by crossing the plant or plant part of claim 10 with a different corn plant. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) A hybrid corn plant or plant part produced by growing the seed of claim 13, wherein the plant part comprises at least one cell of the hybrid corn plant. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) A method for producing a second corn plant, said method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 14 to produce the second corn plant. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) A method for producing a second corn plant or plant part, said method comprising: (a) crossing the corn plant or plant part of claim 14 with an inducer variety to produce haploid seed; and (b) doubling the haploid seed to produce the second corn plant or plant part. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) A method of producing a corn plant derived from inbred corn line RQQ071, said method comprising: (a) crossing the plant of claim 10 with itself or a second corn plant to produce progeny seed; (b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed; and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) with sufficient inbreeding until a seed of an inbred corn plant derived from the inbred corn line RQQ071 is produced. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, further comprising crossing the inbred corn plant derived from the line RQQ071 with a corn plant of a different genotype to produce seed of a hybrid plant derived from the corn line RQQ071. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) A method of producing a commodity plant product, comprising obtaining the plant or plant part of claim 14 and producing the commodity plant product from said plant or plant part, wherein said commodity plant product is selected from the group consisting of livestock feed, grain, silage, starch, fat, ethanol, biomass, oil, meal, flour, syrup, protein, sugar, grits, dextrose, germ, biofuel and refined chemicals. ### Claim 20 (depends on 10) A method for producing nucleic acids, said method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 10. ### Claim 21 (depends on 1) A method for producing a genetically modified corn plant, wherein the method comprises mutation, transformation, gene conversion, genome editing, RNA interference or gene silencing of the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) A genetically modified corn plant produced by the method of claim 21, wherein the plant comprises the genetic modification and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of inbred corn line RQQ071.
