Abstract: A novel maize variety designated X95A939 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof, produced by crossing Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. proprietary inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprises crossing hybrid maize variety X95A939 with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X95A939 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. This invention relates to the maize variety X95A939, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X95A939. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X95A939.

Methods for producing a maize plant that comprises crossing hybrid maize variety X8K862 with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X8K862 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. This invention relates to the maize variety X8K862, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X8K862. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X8K862.

Abstract: A novel maize variety designated PH17B9 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing maize variety PH17B9 with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH17B9 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid maize seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the variety PH17B9 or a locus conversion of PH17B9 with another maize variety.

Abstract: This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to at least one herbicide. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to at least one herbicide, and methods of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently select the best lines for breeding strategies by avoiding sensitive lines.

Abstract: The invention provides isolated nucleic acids and their encoded proteins that are involved in tocopherol or plastoquinone biosynthesis. The invention further provides recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants, and antibody compositions. The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to altering phytyl/prenyltransferase protein content and/or composition of plants.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a hybrid maize plant, designated as 34D34, produced by crossing two Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. proprietary inbred maize lines. This invention relates to the hybrid seed 34D34, the hybrid plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and trivial modifications of hybrid 34D34. This invention also relates to methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic maize plants produced by that method. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize lines derived from hybrid maize line 34D34 and to the maize lines derived by the use of those methods.
