A seed of maize variety JII6578, wherein representative seed of said maize variety JII6578 has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123546.
A plant of maize variety JII6578, wherein representative seed of said maize variety JII6578 has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123546.
A process of introducing an additional trait into maize plant JII6578 comprising:
- (a) crossing JII6578 plants grown from JII6578 seeds, representative seeds deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-123546, with plants of another maize variety that comprise an additional trait to produce hybrid progeny plants, (b) selecting hybrid progeny plants that have the additional trait to produce selected hybrid progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the JII6578 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the additional 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 additional trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of maize inbred plant JII6578 when grown in the same environmental conditions.
