Abstract
A novel maize variety designated PHW5F and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing maize variety PHW5F with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PHW5F 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 variety PHW5F or a trait conversion of PHW5F with another maize variety. Inbred maize varieties derived from maize variety PHW5F, methods for producing other inbred maize varieties derived from maize variety PHW5F and the inbred maize varieties and their parts derived by the use of those methods.
Claims22
Maize variety PHW5F, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-9935.
A process of producing a conversion of maize variety PHW5F comprising at least one new trait, the process comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of maize variety PHW5F, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-9935, 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 variety PHW5F 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 variety PHW5F, wherein the converted plant of variety PHW5F comprises the at least one new trait.
