Abstract

Broadly this invention provides an invention which is an inbred corn line GN05-61211. The methods for producing a corn plant by crossing the inbred line GN05-61211 are also encompassed by the invention. Additionally, the invention relates to the various parts of inbred GN05-61211 including culturable cells. This invention relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line GN05-61211 with at least one other corn line.

Claims

1. Inbred corn seed designated GN05-61211, seed of that has been deposited in the ATCC accession number PTA-8459.

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

3. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of GN05-61211 of claim 1 wherein the cells of the tissue culture regenerates plants capable of expressing the all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of GN05-61211.

4. A tissue culture according to claim 3, the tissue culture formed from cells or protoplasts made from such cells wherein said cells are selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, roots, root tips, meristem, ovule, anthers, silk, flowers, kernels, ears, cobs, husks and stalks.

5. A corn plant capable of expressing all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of GN05-61211 regenerated from the cells of the tissue culture of claim 3.

7. Hybrid seed produced by the method comprising a hybrid combination of plants of inbred corn seed designated GN05-61211 in claim 1 and plants of another inbred line.

8. Hybrid plants grown from seed of claim 7.

10. A tissue culture of the regenerable cells of the corn plant of claim 8.

12. A plant according to claim 2, wherein said plant is modified by the addition of at least one transgenic gene.

13. A seed according to claim 12, including said transgenic gene.

14. Hybrid seed comprising at least one transgenic gene capable of being identified, said seed produced by hybrid combination of plants of inbred corn seed designated GN05-61211 in claim 13 and plants of another inbred line.

15. A plant according to claim 2, including in the plant at least one mutant gene.

16. A seed according to claim 1, including at least one mutant gene.

17. Hybrid seed comprising at least one mutant gene said seed produced by hybrid combination of plants of inbred corn seed designated GN05-61211 in claim 16 and plants of another inbred line.

18. The pollen of a corn plant produced by the seed of claim 1.

6. Hybrid seed produced by the method comprising the following steps:

(a) planting, seeds of corn inbred lines GN05-61211 which has been deposited in the ATCC accession number PTA-8459 and another inbred line, one of said inbred lines not releasing pollen;

(b) allowing pollination of the non-pollen releasing inbred to occur; and

(c) harvesting seeds produced on the non-pollen releasing inbred.

9. A first generation (F1) hybrid corn plant produced by using GN05-61211 which has been deposited in the ATCC accession number PTA-8459 the process of:

(a) planting, in pollinating proximity, seeds of corn inbred lines GN05-61211 and another inbred line;

(b) cultivating corn plants resulting from said planting;

(c) preventing pollen production by the plants of one of the inbred lines;

(d) allowing natural cross-pollination to occur between said inbred lines;

(e) harvesting seeds produced on plants of the inbred line of step (c); and

(f) growing a harvested seed of step (e).

11. A tissue culture of the regenerable cells of the corn plant of claim 9.

19. A corn plant capable of expressing all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of GN05-61211.
