Abstract

An inbred corn line, designated SLD34BM, the plants and seeds of the inbred corn line SLD34BM, methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred corn line SLD34BM with itself or with another corn plant, and hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line SLD34BM 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 SLD34BM, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line SLD34BM and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.

Claims

1. Seed of corn inbred line designated SLD34BM, or a part thereof, representative seed of the line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124828.

2. The seed part of claim 1 selected from the group consisting of pericarp, germ and endosperm.

3. The seed of claim 1, further comprising a coating.

4. A method for producing corn seed, the method comprising:

(a) planting seed of claim 1;

(b) growing a plant from the seed under pollinating conditions; and

,

(c) harvesting resultant seed.

5. An F1 corn seed produced by the method of claim 4.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising pre-treating the seed of claim 1 before performing step (a).

7. A corn plant produced by growing the seed of claim 1.

8. A part of the corn plant of claim 7, selected from the group consisting of an intact plant cell, a plant protoplast, an embryo, a pollen, an ovule, a flower, a kernel, a seed, an intact genomic plant DNA, an ear, a cob, a leaf, a husk, a stalk, a root, a root tip, a brace root, a lateral tassel branch, an anther, a tassel, a glume, a tiller and a silk.

9. Pollen or an ovule of the plant of claim 7.

10. A corn plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the corn plant of claim 7.

11. A substantially homogenous population of corn plants,

comprising the corn plant of claim 7.

12. A method for producing a corn seed, the method comprising:

(a) crossing the plant of claim 7 with another different corn plant to yield progeny corn seed.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the other, different corn plant is an inbred corn plant.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

(b) growing the progeny corn seed from step (a) under self-pollinating or sib-pollinating conditions for about 5 to about 7 generations; and

(c) harvesting resultant seed.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising selecting plants obtained from growing at least one generation of the progeny corn seed for a desirable trait.

16. A method of introducing a desired trait into corn inbred line SLD34BM, representative seed of the line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124828, the method comprising:

(a) crossing SLD34BM plants with a plant of another corn line that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants;

(b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait;

(c) crossing selected progeny plants with SLD34BM plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line SLD34BM; and

(e) performing steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce the selected or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait.

17. An inbred corn line produced by the method of claim 16, wherein said inbred corn line comprises the desired trait and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line SLD34BM when grown in the same environmental conditions.

18. A seed of corn inbred line SLD34BM further comprising a transgene, wherein the transgene was introduced into corn inbred line SLD34BM by backcrossing or genetic transformation, wherein a sample of corn inbred line SLD34BM has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124828 and wherein a plant grown from the seed otherwise comprises all the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred line SLD34BM when grown under the same environmental conditions.

19. A plant grown from the seed of claim 18.

20. An F1 hybrid seed produced by crossing the plant of claim 19 with another different corn plant.
