  • Patent number: 11102945
    Abstract: A novel hybrid corn plant, designated A7501 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid corn A7501, to the plants and plant parts of hybrid corn A7501, and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing the hybrid corn A7501 with itself or another corn plant. 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 hybrid corn plants derived from the hybrid corn plant A7501. The high-amylose specialty hybrid A7501 provides improved yield and agronomic performance while delivering starch functionality consistent with Hylon 7 starch quality metrics. The plant has a yield advantage of 10 bushels per acre compared to A7595, an Ingredion A7 high-amylose commercial hybrid. A7501 also shows improved germination and field establishment.

  • Patent number: 10721953
    Abstract: A thermal-reversible gelling agent derived from the modified starch of a waxy corn variant having an endosperm genotype with one or two doses of the recessive amylose-extender gene (ae). The starch may be modified enzymatically, physically, or by acid hydrolysis. Such gelling agents exhibit properties that may be useful in thickening or providing otherwise unique textures to foods.

  • Patent number: 10669553
    Abstract: This invention disclosure relates to novel maize starch. The starch can be made from the newly developed waxy sugary-2 double-mutant maize that has low activity of Granule Bound Starch Synthase I (GBSSI), which results in low amylose level. The starch from newly developed waxy sugary-2 double-mutant is freeze-thaw stable and has high viscosity. In comparison with the starch of the existing waxy sugary-2 double-mutant maize, the new waxy sugary-2 double-mutant maize starch showed, inter alia, improved pasting profile, starch granule integrity, larger starch granule size, and higher viscosity.
