Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated I116412. This invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety I116412, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety I116412 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. This invention further relates to corn seeds and plants produced by crossing plants of variety I116412 with plants of another variety, such as another inbred line, and to crosses with related species. This invention further relates to the inbred and hybrid genetic complements of plants of variety I116412, and also to the genetic marker profiles of corn variety I116412.
Claims26
A seed of the corn variety I116412, wherein a sample of the seed of the corn variety I116412 was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8400.
A corn plant of corn variety I116412, wherein a sample of the seed of the corn variety I116412 was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8400.
A method of producing an inbred corn plant derived from the corn variety I116412, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a progeny plant derived from corn variety I116412 by crossing a plant of the corn variety I116412 with a second corn plant, wherein a sample of the seed of the corn variety I116412 was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8400;
- (b) crossing the progeny plant with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;
- (c) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant;
- and
- (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) for an additional 2-10 generations to produce an inbred corn plant derived from the corn variety I116412.
A method of producing a conversion of the corn variety I116412 to express at least one new trait, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a first corn plant having a first diploid genome comprising a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, and further comprising a genetic locus that confers at least one new trait, with a second plant of the corn variety I116412, a sample of the seed of the corn variety I116412 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8400, the plant of the corn variety I116412 having a second diploid genome comprising a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, to produce seed comprising a diploid genome having a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, wherein one of the alleles is contributed by the first corn plant and the other is contributed by the plant of the corn variety I116412, said genome further comprising the genetic locus that confers the new trait;
- (b) harvesting and planting the seed thereby produced to produce at least one progeny plant of the first filial generation, said progeny plant comprising a diploid genome comprising the genetic locus;
- (c) crossing said progeny plant with a plant of the corn variety I116412 to produce seed of a subsequent filial generation, the seed comprising a diploid genome having a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, wherein one of the alleles is contributed by the progeny plant and the other is contributed by the plant of the corn variety I116412, and further comprising the genetic locus that confers the new trait;
- (d) growing at least one progeny plant of the subsequent filial generation from the seed produced in step (c), said progeny plant comprising a genome comprising the genetic locus that confers the new trait;
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) for at least three additional generations to produce a converted plant of the corn variety I116412 wherein the plant comprises a diploid genome having a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, wherein both alleles at substantially all of the loci consist essentially of the allele found at the same locus in corn variety I116412, the genome further comprising the genetic locus that confers the new trait;
- and
- (f) harvesting the seed of the converted plant.
A hybrid corn seed having a male parent and a female parent, wherein the male and female parents each comprise a diploid genome having a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, each parent further being homozygous with respect to each allele pair;
- the hybrid corn seed also comprising a diploid genome having a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, one of the alleles being contributed by the male parent and the other being contributed by the female parent, wherein one of the parents is a plant of the corn variety I116412, a sample of the seed of said corn variety I116412 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8400, and wherein the other parent is a plant of a different variety;
- whereby one allele at each locus in the hybrid genome consists essentially of the allele found at the same locus in corn variety I116412, and further whereby the other allele in a plurality of such loci in the hybrid genome is different from the allele found at the same locus in corn variety I116412.
