Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided an inbred corn line, designated PHW06. This invention thus relates to the plants and seeds of inbred corn line PHW06 and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing the inbred line PHW06 with itself or with another corn plant. This invention further relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PHW06 with another corn line or plant and to crosses with related species.
Claims8
Inbred corn seed designated PHW06, having the ATCC Accession No. 97219.
A tissue culture of regenerable cells of inbred corn line PHW06, having ATCC Accession No. 97219.
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 are adapted to the eastern United States and Canada and which exhibits good stress tolerance, seed quality, resistance to first brood European Corn Borer and is highly resistant to common smut, compared to similarly adapted hybrids, comprising the steps of:
- (a) planting, in pollinating proximity, seed of corn inbred PHW06, having ATCC Accession No. 97219 , and another inbred line, not PHW06;
- (b) cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting, said plants having a male and female reproductive system;
- (c) inactivating the male reproductive system prior to pollination of the plants of the female inbred line;
- (d) allowing natural cross pollinating to occur between said parental lines;
- and
- (e) harvesting seeds produced on said inactivated plants of the inbred line.
F.sub.1 hybrid corn seed produced by crossing the inbred corn plant PHW06, having ATCC Accession No. 97219, with another corn plant that is not PHW06, and plants and parts thereof produced from the F.sub.1 hybrid seed.
