Abstract

A novel inbred corn line, designated LH283, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line LH283, to the plants of inbred corn line LH283 and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing the inbred line LH283 with itself or another corn line. The invention further relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line LH283 with another corn line.

Claims

1. Inbred corn seed designated LH283, having ATCC accession No. 97820.

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

3. Pollen of the plant of claim 2.

4. An ovule of the plant of claim 2.

5. An inbred corn plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the inbred corn plant of claim 2.

6. A corn plant regenerated from a tissue culture of tissue obtained from the corn plant of claim 2, said regenerated corn plant capable of expressing all the physiological and morphological characteristics of said corn plant of claim 2.

7. A method for producing first generation (F₁) hybrid corn seed comprising crossing a first inbred parent corn plant with a second inbred parent corn plant and harvesting the resultant first generation (F₁) seed, wherein one but not both of said first inbred parent corn plant and said second inbred parent corn plant is the corn plant of claim 2.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein said corn plant is the male parent.

9. Hybrid seed produced by crossing a first inbred parent corn plant with a second inbred parent corn plant and harvesting the resultant hybrid seed, wherein one but not both of said first inbred parent corn plant and said second inbred parent corn plant is the corn plant of claim 2.

10. Hybrid corn plants grown from the hybrid seed of claim 9.
