Abstract

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated I180580. This invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety I180580, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety I180580 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. This invention further relates to corn seeds and plants produced by crossing plants of variety I180580 with plants of another variety, such as another inbred line, and to crosses with related species. This invention further relates to the inbred and hybrid genetic complements of plants of variety I180580, and also to the SSR and isozyme typing profiles of corn variety I180580.

14. An essentially homogeneous population of corn plants produced by growing the seed of the corn variety I180580, wherein a sample of the seed of the corn variety I180580 was deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______.

15. A corn plant capable of expressing all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the corn variety I180580, wherein a sample of the seed of the corn variety I180580 was deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______.

16. The corn plant of claim 15, further comprising a nuclear or cytoplasmic gene conferring male sterility.

17. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of a plant of corn variety I180580, wherein the tissue is capable of regenerating plants capable of expressing all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the corn variety I180580, wherein a sample of the seed of the corn variety I180580 was deposited under ATCC Accession No. ______.
