Abstract

An inbred corn line, designated 6TR512, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line 6TR512, to the plants of inbred corn line 6TR512 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line 6TR512 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 6TR512.

Claims

1. Seed of corn inbred line designated 6TR512, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-4335.

2. A corn plant, or parts thereof, 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. The corn plant of claim 2, further comprising a genetic factor conferring male sterility.

6. A corn plant with all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred 6TR512, a sample of said seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-4335, wherein said corn plant is produced by a tissue culture process using the corn plant of claim 2 as the starting material for such a process.

7. A method for producing a hybrid corn seed comprising crossing a first inbred parent corn plant with a second inbred parent corn plant and harvesting the resultant hybrid corn seed, wherein said first inbred parent corn plant or second said parent corn plant is the corn plant of claim 2.

8. A hybrid corn seed produced by the method of claim 7.

9. A hybrid corn plant, or parts thereof, produced by growing said hybrid corn seed of claim 8.

10. A corn seed produced by growing said corn plant of claim 9 and harvesting the resultant corn seed.

11. An F₁ hybrid seed produced by crossing the inbred corn plant according to claim 2 with another, different corn plant.
