  • Inbred corn line NPJC7538
    Patent number: 8008557
    Abstract: Basically, this invention provides for an inbred corn line designated NPJC7538, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line NPJC7538, with plants of another corn plant. The invention relates to the various parts of inbred NPJC7538, including culturable cells. This invention also relates to methods for introducing transgenic transgenes into inbred corn line NPJC7538, and plants produced by said methods.

  • Inbred maize line NP2467
    Patent number: 7157631
    Abstract: An inbred maize line, designated NP2467 having a lower ear height and a white versus a red cob compared to B73. NP2467 has better resistance to Gray Leaf Spot and Southern Leaf Blight than B73 and because of its improved plant health, NP2467 has much better Stay Green than B73. When NP2467 is crossed with other inbred maize lines produces hybrids with greater yield, stalk strength, emergence rating and push test percentage. This invention further relates to the seeds of inbred maize line NP2467, to the plants of inbred maize line NP2467, to hybrids made using the inbred maize plant NP2467 and another inbred maize plant, and to methods for producing a maize plant by crossing the inbred line NP2467 with itself or another maize line.

  • Method of producing transgenic maize using direct transformation of commercially important genotypes
    Publication number: 20030237117
    Abstract: Methods for transformation of maize with nucleic acid sequences of interest are disclosed. The method involves subjecting immature zygotic embryos or Type I callus to high velocity microprojectile bombardment. The method is capable of producing transformed maize lines of commercial importance and their hybrid combinations.
