Abstract
The present invention provides an inbred corn line designated NPFA4824, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line NPFA4824 with plants of another corn plant. The invention further encompasses all parts of inbred corn line NPFA4824, including culturable cells. Additionally provided herein are methods for introducing transgenes into inbred corn line NPFA4824, and plants produced according to these methods.
Claims20
A seed of the maize plant NPFA4824, representative seed of said plant having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13368.
A maize plant NPFA4824, representative seed of said NPFA4824 plant having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13368.
A process of introducing a desired heritable trait into maize plant NPFA4824 comprising:
- (a) crossing NPFA4824 plants grown from NPFA4824 seed, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13368, with plants of another maize plant that comprise a desired trait to produce hybrid progeny plants, (b) selecting hybrid progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected hybrid progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the NPFA4824 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) at least three or more times to produce backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of maize inbred plant NPFA4824 when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A maize plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred plant NPFA4824, representative seed of said plant having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13368, wherein said plant comprises a desired trait selected from the group consisting of waxy starch, male sterility or restoration of male fertility, modified carbohydrate metabolism, modified protein metabolism and modified fatty acid metabolism, altered starch, thermotolerant amylase, herbicide tolerance and/or resistance;
- insect or nematode tolerance and/or resistance, bacterial disease resistance, fungal disease resistance, and viral disease resistance.
