The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH979678.
Claims21
A seed of hybrid corn variety CH979678, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV485971 with a second plant of variety CV692290, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV485971 and CV692290 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10239 and PTA-120306, respectively.
A method of producing hybrid corn seed comprising crossing a plant of variety CV485971 with a plant of variety CV692290, wherein representative seed of variety CV485971 and variety CV692290 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10239 and PTA-120306, respectively.
A seed of hybrid corn variety CH979678 comprising at least one single locus conversion, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV485971 with a second plant of variety CV692290, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV485971 and CV692290 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10239 and PTA-120306, respectively, and wherein one or both of the first plant and second plant comprises said at least one single locus conversion.
A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH979678 comprising the steps of:
- (a) introducing at least a first heritable trait into at least one inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of variety CV485971 and variety CV692290 to produce a plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait, wherein the heritable trait is introduced into said first inbred corn variety by backcrossing and wherein representative samples of seed of variety CV485971 and variety CV692290 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10239 and PTA-120306, respectively;
- and
- (b) crossing a plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait with a plant of a different variety selected from said group consisting of CV485971 and CV692290 to produce a plant of hybrid corn variety CH979678 comprising the heritable trait.
