Abstract
The present invention provides an inbred corn line designated NPAA2720, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line NPAA2720 with plants of another corn plant. The invention further encompasses all parts of inbred corn line NPAA2720, including culturable cells. Additionally provided herein are methods for introducing transgenes into inbred corn line NPAA2720, and plants produced according to these methods.
Claims19
A seed of the maize plant NPAA2720, representative seed sample deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12524.
A process of introducing a heritable trait into maize plant NPAA2720 comprising:
- (a) crossing NPAA2720 plants grown from NPAA2720 seed, representative seed sample deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-12524, 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 NPAA2720 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 NPAA2720 when grown in the same environmental conditions.
