Abstract: An inbred maize line, designated HLA18ND, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred maize line HLA18ND, to the plants of inbred maize line HLA18ND and to methods for producing a maize plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line HLA18ND with itself or another maize line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a maize 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 maize lines derived from the inbred HLA18ND.

Abstract: An inbred maize line, designated HLA22ND, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred maize line HLA22ND, to the plants of inbred maize line HLA22ND and to methods for producing a maize plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line HLA22ND with itself or another maize line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a maize 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 maize lines derived from the inbred HLA22ND.

Abstract: The present invention provides grain, seed, feed made from the grain or seed, pet food made from the grain, and food products made from the grain. The grain may be maize grain with the following characteristics: oil burdened, elevated protein content, and low phytate levels. The combination of oil burdened, protein laden, and decreased phytate characteristics in grain makes a grain that provides more calories, protein and phosphorus and other nutrients to the feeding animal. Pet foods, and animal feeds and corn food products made of the present invention will provide increased nutrition because of the increased bioavailability of the components of the grain.
