Abstract
An inbred corn line, designated CB15, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line CB15, to the plants and plant parts of inbred corn line CB15 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing inbred corn line CB15 with itself or another corn line. The invention also relates to products produced from the seeds, plants, or parts thereof, of inbred corn line CB15 and/or of the hybrids produced using the inbred as a parent. The invention further relates to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line CB15.
Claims28
A seed of inbred corn line designated CB15, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120633.
A corn plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred line CB15, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120633.
A method for producing inbred corn line CB15, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-20633, wherein the method comprises:
- a) planting a collection of seeds comprising seed of a hybrid, one of whose parents is inbred line CB15, said collection also comprising seed of said inbred;
- b) growing plants from said collection of seeds;
- c) identifying the plants having the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line CB15 as inbred parent plants;
- d) controlling pollination of said inbred parent plants in a manner which preserves the homozygosity of said inbred parent plants;
- and
- e) harvesting the resultant seed and thereby producing an inbred corn line having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line CB15.
A method of introducing one or more desired traits into inbred corn line CB15 wherein the method comprises:
- a) crossing the inbred line CB15 plants grown from the inbred line CB15 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120633, with plants of another corn line that comprise one or more desired traits to produce progeny plants, wherein the one or more desired traits are selected from the group consisting of male sterility, male fertility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, water stress tolerance, increased amylose starch and increased digestibility;
- b) selecting progeny plants that have the one or more desired traits to produce selected progeny plants;
- c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the inbred corn line CB15 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the one or more desired traits and physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line CB15 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and
- e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired one or more traits and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred corn line CB15 as listed in Table 1.
