Abstract
An inbred corn line, designated N61060, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line N61060, to the plants of inbred corn line N61060 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line N61060 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 and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from the inbred N61060.
Claims31
Seed of corn inbred line designated N61060, a representative sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7263.
A corn plant, or part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the inbred line N61060, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7263.
A method of introducing a desired trait into corn inbred line N61060 wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing a N61060 plant, representative seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7263, with a plant of another corn line that comprises 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, waxy starch and resistance to bacterial, fungal or viral disease;
- (b) selecting progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the N61060 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 N61060 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 corn inbred line N61060 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, modifying phytic acid metabolism or modifying carbohydrate metabolism into corn inbred line N61060 wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing a N61060 plant, representative seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-7263, with a plant of another corn line to produce F1 progeny plants that comprise a nucleic acid molecule encoding an enzyme selected from the group consisting of phytase, stearyl-ACP desaturase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, alpha-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme;
- (b) selecting progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the N61060 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule and physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line N61060 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 corn inbred line N61060 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
