Hybrid maize plant and seed 39A94

A process of introducing a desired trait into a hybrid maize variety 39A94 comprising:

• (a) crossing at least one of inbred maize parent plants GE2163498 and GE2796000, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession Nos:
• as PTA-8322 and PTA-8321 respectively, 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, site-specific recombination, increased transformability and abiotic stress tolerance;
• (b) selecting said F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
• (c) backcrossing the selected progeny plants with said inbred maize parent plant to produce backcross progeny plants;
• (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and morphological and physiological characteristics of said inbred maize parent plant to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
• (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants;
• and
• (f) crossing said fourth or higher backcross progeny plant with the other inbred maize parent plant to produce a hybrid maize variety 39A94 that comprises the desired trait and all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid maize variety 39A94 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.

A process of introducing altered grain characteristics into a hybrid maize variety 39A94 comprising:

• (a) crossing at least one of inbred maize parent plants GE2163498 and GE2796000, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession Nos:
• as PTA-8322 and PTA-8321 respectively, 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 altered phosphorus, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids and altered carbohydrates;
• (b) selecting said F1 progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
• (c) backcrossing the selected progeny plants with said inbred maize parent plant to produce backcross progeny plants;
• (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule and morphological and physiological characteristics of said inbred maize parent plant to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
• (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants;
• and
