Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated CV476579. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CV476579, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CV476579 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to corn seeds and plants produced by crossing plants of variety CV476579 with plants of another variety, such as another inbred line. The invention further relates to the inbred and hybrid genetic complements of plants of variety CV476579.
Claims23
A seed of corn variety CV476579, wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV476579 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10038.
A plant of corn variety CV476579, wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV476579 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10038.
A method of producing a plant of corn variety CV476579 comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into a plant of corn variety CV476579, wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV476579 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10038.
A method of introducing a single locus conversion into corn variety CV476579 comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of variety CV476579 with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV476579 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10038;
- (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the single locus to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with at least a first plant of variety CV476579 to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and physiological and morphological characteristics of corn variety CV476579 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the single locus and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn variety CV476579 when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A plant of corn variety CV476579, further defined as comprising a single locus conversion, wherein the single locus conversion was introduced into said corn variety CV476579 by backcrossing or genetic transformation, and wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV476579 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10038.
A method of producing a seed of a corn plant derived from the corn variety CV476579, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a progeny plant derived from corn variety CV476579 by crossing a plant of the corn variety CV476579 with a corn plant of a second variety, wherein a sample of seed of corn variety CV476579 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10038;
- and
- (b) crossing the progeny plant with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation.
