Abstract
An inbred maize line, designated PH2KN, the plants and seeds of inbred maize line PH2KN, methods for producing a maize plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred maize line PH2KN with itself or with another maize plant, and hybrid maize seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PH2KN with another maize line or plant and to methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic maize plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PH2KN, to methods for producing other inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PH2KN and to the inbred maize lines derived by the use of those methods.
Claims27
Seed of maize inbred line designated PH2KN, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-1832.
A maize plant, or parts thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred line PH2KN, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC accession No. PTA-1832.
A tissue culture of regenerable cells of a maize plant of inbred line PH2Kb, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-1832, wherein the tissue regenerates plants capable of expressing all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the inbred line PH2KN.
A process for producing inbred PH2KN, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-1832, comprising:
- (a) planting a collection of seed comprising seed of a hybrid, one of whose parents is inbred PH2KN said collection also comprising seed of said inbred;
- (b) growing plants from said collection of seed;
- (c) identifying inbred parent plants;
- (d) selecting said inbred parent plant;
- (e) controlling pollination through selfing, which preserves the homozygosity of said inbred parent plant;
- and
- (f) collecting morphological and/or physiological data so that said inbred parent may be identified as inbred PH2KN.
A method for producing a PH2KN-derived maize plant, comprising:
- (a) crossing inbred maize line PH2KN, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-1832, with a second maize plant to yield progeny maize seed;
- (b) growing said progeny maize seed, under plant growth conditions, to yield said PH2KN-derived maize plant.
