Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided an inbred corn line, designated PHKM5. This invention thus relates to the plants and seeds of inbred corn line PHKM5 and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing the inbred line PHKM5 with itself or with another corn plant. This invention further relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PHKM5 with another corn line or plant.
Claims10
Inbred corn seed designated PHKM5, having the ATCC Accession No. 97218.
A tissue culture of regenerable cells of a plant of the inbred corn line PHKM5 and having ATCC Accession No. 97218 wherein the tissue regenerates plants having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of PHKM5.
A corn plant regenerated from a tissue culture of a plant of inbred corn line PHKM5 and having ATCC Accession No. 97218 and having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of PHKM5.
A process to produce a hybrid corn seed which gives rise to a hybrid corn plant having alleles which, when expressed, contribute to hybrids which exhibit the traits of earliness and high yield when compared to similarly-adapted hybrids, comprising the steps of:
- (a) planting, in pollinating proximity, seeds of two parental lines, one of the parental lines being PHKM5 having ATCC Accession No. 97218, and the other parental line having a genotype different from PHKM5;
- (b) cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting;
- (c) preventing pollen formation by the plants of one of the parental lines;
- (d) allowing natural cross pollinating to occur between said parental lines;
- and
- (e) harvesting seeds produced by the plants which do not form pollen.
Hybrid seed produced by:
- (a) planting, in pollinating proximity, seeds of two parental lines, one of the parental lines being PHKM5 and having ATCC Accession No. 97218, and the other parental line having a genotype different from PHKM5;
- (b) cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting;
- (c) preventing pollen formation by the plants of one of the parental lines;
- (d) allowing natural cross pollinating to occur between said parental lines;
- (e) harvesting seeds produced by the plants which do not form pollen.
Hybrid seed produced by hybrid combination of plants of inbred corn seed designated PHKM5 and having ATCC Accession No. 97218 and plants of parental line having a genotype different from PHKM5.
A tissue culture of the regenerable cells of the corn plant generated from seed produced by hybrid combination of plants of inbred corn seed designated PHKM5 and having ATCC Accession No. 97218 and plants of a parental line having a genotype different from PHKM5.
