Abstract
A novel inbred maize line designated PH7GD and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing inbred maize line PH7GD with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH7GD 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 PH7GD or an introgressed trait conversion of PH7GD with another maize line. Inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PH7GD, methods for producing other inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PH7GD and the inbred maize lines and their parts derived by the use of those methods.
Claims33
A seed comprising at least one set of the chromosomes of maize inbred line PH7GD, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-6356, wherein said chromosomes comprise all of the alleles of inbred line PH7GD at the SSR loci listed in Table 2.
An F1 hybrid maize seed comprising an inbred maize plant cell of inbred maize line PH7GD, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-6356.
A process of introducing a desired trait into maize inbred line PH7GD comprising:
- (a) crossing PH7GD plants grown from PH7GD seed, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-6356, 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 waxy starch, male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, bacterial disease resistance, fungal disease resistance, and viral disease resistance;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the PH7GD plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and the alleles of inbred line PH7GD at the SSR loci listed in Table 2 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) to produce backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and comprise at least 95% of the alleles of inbred line PH7GD at the SSR loci listed in Table 2.
A maize plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred line PH7GD, wherein a sample of the seed of inbred line PH7GD was deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-6356.
