16. A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH016740 comprising the steps of:
-
(a) crossing a first plant of a first inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of varieties 1180580, 87DIA4 and 83INI14 with another corn plant that heritably carries the trait to produce progeny plants, at least some of which heritably carry the trait, wherein representative samples of seed of varieties 1180580, 87DIA4 and 83INI14 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-4490, 203192, and 203932, respectively; (b) selecting progeny plants that heritably carry the trait; (c) crossing selected progeny plants with another plant of the first inbred corn variety to produce next-generation progeny plants at least some of which heritably carry the trait; (d) selecting next-generation progeny plants that heritably carry the trait and exhibit morphological and physiological characteristics of the first inbred corn variety; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce at least a first selected progeny plant that heritably carries the trait and exhibits essentially all of the morphological and physical characteristics of the inbred corn variety; and (f) crossing a progeny plant of step (e) with a plant of the other inbred corn variety of the group consisting of 1180580, 87DIA4 and 83INI14 to produce a plant comprising the trait and essentially all of the characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH016740 when grown under the same environmental conditions. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A method of introducing a desired trait into hybrid corn variety CH016740 comprising the steps of:
-
(a) introducing a transgene conferring the trait into a variety selected from the group consisting of 1180580, 87DIA4 and 83INI14 to produce a transgenic plant heritably carrying the trait; and (b) crossing the transgenic plant or an isogenic progeny plant thereof with a plant of the other inbred corn variety to produce seed of the hybrid corn variety CH016740 that heritably carries and expresses the transgene and otherwise has essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH016740 when grown under the same environmental conditions. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
