Abstract
A novel inbred maize variety designated PHBBK and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing inbred maize variety PHBBK with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PHBBK 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 variety PHBBK or a trait conversion of PHBBK with another maize variety. Inbred maize varieties derived from inbred maize variety PHBBK, methods for producing other inbred maize varieties derived from inbred maize variety PHBBK and the inbred maize varieties and their parts derived by the use of those methods.
Claims21
Maize inbred variety PHBBK, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-7505.
A process of producing a conversion of maize inbred variety PHBBK comprising at least one new trait, the process comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of maize inbred variety PHBBK, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-7505, with a plant of another maize variety that comprises at least one new trait to produce progeny seed;
- (b) harvesting and planting the progeny seed to produce at least one progeny plant of a subsequent generation, said progeny plant comprising the at least one new trait;
- (c) crossing the progeny plant with a plant of maize inbred variety PHBBK to produce backcross progeny seed;
- (d) harvesting and planting the backcross progeny seed to produce at least one backcross progeny plant;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) for at least three additional generations to produce a converted plant of inbred variety PHBBK, wherein the converted plant of inbred variety PHBBK comprises the at least one new trait and otherwise has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of inbred variety PHBBK listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown under the same environmental conditions.
