  • Patent number: 8466354
    Abstract: An inbred corn line, designated XHA25, the plants and seeds of the inbred corn line XHA25, methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred corn line XHA25 with itself or with another corn plant, and hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line XHA25 with another corn line or plant and to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic corn plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line XHA25, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line XHA25 and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.

  • Patent number: 8404954
    Abstract: An inbred corn line, designated SLA21, the plants and seeds of the inbred corn line SLA21, methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred corn line SLA21 with itself or with another corn plant, and hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line SLA21 with another corn line or plant and to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic corn plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line SLA21, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line SLA21 and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.

  • Publication number: 20120090047
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns high-resolution mapping and candidate gene cloning of Rf4, a maize restorer of fertility gene that restores fertility to C-type cytoplasmic male sterility. The disclosure also relates to molecular markers that are tightly-linked to, or reside within, the Rf4 gene. In some embodiments, methods are provided whereby hybrid seeds may be produced from crosses of a male plant comprising nucleic acid molecular markers that are linked to or that reside within the Rf4 gene and a female plant carrying C-type CMS.

  • Patent number: 6884930
    Abstract: An inbred corn line, designated 4XA321, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line 4XA321, to the plants of inbred corn line 4XA321 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line 4XA321 with itself or another corn line. 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 inbred corn lines derived from the inbred 4XA321.
