Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH048856. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH048856, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH048856 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 CH048856.
Claims21
A seed of hybrid corn variety CH048856, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV589782 with a second plant of variety CV568858, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV589782 and CV568858 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10491 and PTA-120300, respectively.
A method of producing hybrid corn seed comprising crossing a plant of variety CV589782 with a plant of variety CV568858, wherein representative seed of variety CV589782 and variety CV568858 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10491 and PTA-120300, respectively.
A seed of hybrid corn variety CH048856 further comprising at least one single locus conversion, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV589782 with a second plant of variety CV568858, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV589782 and CV568858 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10491 and PTA-120300, respectively, and wherein one or both of the first plant and second plant further comprises the single locus conversion, and wherein a hybrid plant grown from the seed comprises the single locus conversion and the otherwise essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH048856 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH048856 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 CV589782 and variety CV568858 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 CV589782 and variety CV568858 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-10491 and PTA-120300, 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 CV589782 and CV568858 to produce a plant of hybrid corn variety CH048856 comprising the heritable trait.
