Abstract

An inbred corn line, designated LH295, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line LH295, to the plants of inbred corn line LH295 and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line LH295 with itself or another corn line.

Claims

1. Seed of corn inbred line designated LH295, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5421.

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. A corn plant, or parts thereof, having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the corn plant of claim 2.

6. A tissue culture of regenerable cells from the corn plant of claim 2.

7. The tissue culture according to claim 6, the cells or protoplasts of the tissue culture having been isolated from a tissue selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, roots, root tips, anthers, silks, flowers, kernels, ears, cobs, husks, and stalks.

8. A corn plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 6, wherein the regenerated plant expresses all the morphological and physiological characteristics of inbred line LH295.

9. A corn plant with all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of corn inbred LH295, wherein said corn plant is produced by a tissue culture process using the corn plant of claim 5 as the starting material for said process.

10. 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.

11. A method for producing a LH295-derived corn plant, comprising:

a) crossing inbred corn line LH295, representative seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-5421, with a second corn plant to yield progeny corn seed; and

b) growing said progeny corn seed, under plant growth conditions, to yield said LH295-derived corn plant.
