Abstract
A novel inbred maize variety designated PH8ER and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing inbred maize variety PH8ER with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH8ER 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 PH8ER or a trait conversion of PH8ER with another maize variety. Inbred maize varieties derived from inbred maize variety PH8ER, methods for producing other inbred maize varieties derived from inbred maize variety PH8ER and the inbred maize varieties and their parts derived by the use of those methods.

Maize inbred variety PH8ER, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-7533.
A process of producing a conversion of maize inbred variety PH8ER comprising at least one new trait, the process comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of maize inbred variety PH8ER, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-7533, 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 PH8ER 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 PH8ER, wherein the converted plant of inbred variety PH8ER comprises the at least one new trait.
