Abstract
A novel inbred maize line designated PHBBP and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing inbred maize line PHBBP with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PHBBP through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid maize seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the inbred line PHBBP or an introgressed trait conversion of PHBBP with another maize line. Inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PHBBP, methods for producing other inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PHBBP and the inbred maize lines and their parts derived by the use of those methods.

Seed of maize inbred line designated PHBBP, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6348.
A method of introducing a desired trait into maize inbred line PHBBP comprising:
- (a) crossing PHBBP plants grown from PHBBP seed, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6348, with plants of another maize line that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance and waxy starch;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the PHBBP plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of maize inbred line PHBBP listed in Table 1 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 maize inbred line PHBBP listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A method of modifying fatty acid metabolism, phytic acid metabolism or carbohydrate metabolism in maize inbred line PHBBP comprising:
- (a) crossing PHBBP plants grown from PHBBP seed, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-6348, with plants of another maize line that comprise a nucleic acid molecule encoding or inhibiting a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of phytase, stearyl-ACP desaturase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, alpha-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the PHBBP plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule and physiological and morphological characteristics of maize inbred line PHBBP listed in Table 1 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 said nucleic acid molecule and have all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of maize inbred line PHBBP listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
