The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety 1693842, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety 1693842 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety 1693842. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A seed of a hybrid corn variety 1693842, produced by crossing a first plant of variety SLM15 with a second plant of variety XHD02LY, wherein representative seed of said varieties SLM15 and XHD02LY have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12586 and PTA-12574, respectively. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A plant of the hybrid corn variety 1693842 grown from the seed of claim 1. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) A plant part of the plant of claim 2. ### Claim 4 A method of producing hybrid corn seed comprising crossing a plant of variety SLM15 with a plant of variety XHD02LY, wherein representative seed of variety SLM15 and variety XHD02LY have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12586 and PTA-12574, respectively. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, defined as comprising pollinating a plant of inbred variety SLM15 with pollen from a plant of variety XHD02LY. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) A method for producing corn grain comprising growing the plant of claim 2 until grain is produced and collecting the grain. ### Claim 7 A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety 1693842 comprising the steps of: (a) crossing a first plant of a first inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of variety SLM15 and variety XHD02LY with another corn plant that heritably carries the trait, thereby producing progeny plants, at least some of which heritably carry the trait, wherein representative samples of seed of variety SLM15 and variety XHD02LY have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12586 and PTA-12574, respectively; (b) selecting progeny plants that heritably carry the trait; (c) crossing selected progeny plants with another plant of the first inbred corn variety to produce next-generation progeny plants at least some of which heritably carry the trait; (d) selecting next-generation progeny plants that heritably carry the trait and exhibit morphological and physiological characteristics of the first inbred corn variety; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce at least a first selected progeny plant that heritably carries the trait and exhibits all of the morphological and physical characteristics of the inbred corn variety; and (f) crossing a progeny plant of step (e) with a plant of a different variety than the first inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of SLM15 and XHD02LY to produce a plant comprising the trait and all of the characteristics of hybrid corn variety 1693842 when grown under the same environmental conditions. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising repeating steps (a)-(f) at least once to introduce at least a second trait into hybrid corn variety 1693842, wherein the second trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 10 A method of introducing a desired trait into hybrid corn variety 1693842 comprising the steps of: (a) introducing a transgene conferring the trait into an inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of SLM15 and XHD02LY, wherein representative seed of said varieties SLM15 and XHD02LY have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-12586 and PTA-12574, respectively, to produce a transgenic plant heritably carrying the trait; and (b) crossing the transgenic plant or an isogenic progeny plant thereof with a plant of a different variety than said inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of SLM15 and XHD02LY to produce seed of the hybrid corn variety 1693842 that heritably carries and expresses the transgene and otherwise has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety 1693842 when grown under the same environmental conditions. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the desired trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising repeating steps (a) and (b) at least once to introduce at least a second trait into hybrid corn variety 1693842, wherein the second trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 13 (depends on 2) A method of producing a corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety 1693842, comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with a second corn plant to produce a progeny corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety 1693842.
