Abstract
An inbred corn line, designated NP 2017, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line NP 2017, to the plants of inbred corn line NP 2017 and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing inbred line NP 2017 with itself or with another corn plant. The invention further relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing inbred line NP 2017 with another corn line.
Claims15
An inbred corn line designated NP 2017, the seeds of which have been deposited as ATCC Accession No. 209543.
Hybrid seed produced by crossing plants of inbred corn line designated NP 2017, the seed having ATCC Accession No. 209543 and plants of another inbred corn line having a genotype different from corn line NP 2017.
Hybrid corn seed produced by the process of:
- a. planting in pollinating proximity seeds of inbred corn line NP 2017 having ATCC Accession No. 209543 and a second inbred line having a genotype different from NP 2017;
- b. cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting until time of flowering;
- c. emasculating said flowers of plants of said second inbred line;
- d. allowing cross pollination to occur between said inbreds, and
- e. harvesting the seeds produced on said plants of inbred line NP 2017.
A first generation (F1) hybrid corn plant produced by the process of:
- a. planting in pollinating proximity seeds of inbred corn line NP 2017 having ATCC Accession No. 209543 and a second inbred line having a genotype different from NP 2017;
- b. cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting until time of flowering;
- c. emasculating said flowers of plants of said second inbred line;
- d. allowing cross pollination to occur between said inbreds;
- e. harvesting the seeds produced on said plants of inbred line NP 2017 and
- f. growing a harvested seed of step e.
