Abstract
An inbred corn line, designated RAA1 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line RAA1, to the plants of inbred corn line RAA1 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line RAA1 with itself or another corn line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes from said corn line RAA1 and to the transgenic plants produced by that method.
Claims29
An inbred corn seed designated RAA1, wherein a sample of said seed has been deposited under ATCC Accession number PTA-5626.
A corn plant with all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred RAA1, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5626.
A hybrid corn seed designated RAA1*MNI1 having inbred line RAA1 as the first parental line, representative seed of RAA1 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5626 and inbred line MNI1 as the second parental line, representative seed of MNI1 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5645.
A hybrid corn seed designated RAA1*RII1 having inbred line RAA1 as the first parental line, representative seed of RAA1 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5626 and inbred line RII1 as the second parental line, representative seed of RII1 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5646.
A method of introducing a desired trait into corn inbred line RAA1 comprising:
- a) crossing RAA1 plants grown from seed deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5626, plants of another corn line that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and resistance to bacterial, fungal or viral disease;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with RAA1 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line RAA1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line RAA1 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
