Abstract
The present invention provides an inbred corn line designated KDC7040, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line KDC7040 with plants of another corn plant. The invention further encompasses all parts of inbred corn line KDC7040, including culturable cells. Additionally provided herein are methods for introducing transgenes into inbred corn line KDC7040, and plants produced according to these methods.
Claims18
A seed of the maize variety KDC7040, representative seed sample deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA12495.
A maize plant KDC7040, representative seed sample of said KDC7040 plant having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA12495.
A process of introducing a heritable trait into maize variety KDC7040 comprising:
- (a) crossing KDC7040 plants grown from KDC7040 seeds, representative seed sample deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA12495, with plants of another maize variety 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 hybrid progeny plants with the KDC7040 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 KDC7040 when grown in the same environmental conditions.
