Abstract

A novel maize variety designated PH12JY and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing maize variety PH12JY with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH12JY through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid maize seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the variety PH12JY or a locus conversion of PH12JY with another maize variety.

Claims

1. A seed of inbred maize variety PH12JY, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-120169.

2. A method of collecting molecular data comprising isolating nucleic acids contained in the seed of claim 1, analyzing said nucleic acids, and recording data based on the nucleic acids.

3. A plant, plant part, or cell produced by growing the seed of inbred maize variety of claim 1.

4. A method of collecting molecular data comprising isolating nucleic acids contained in the plant, plant part, or cell of claim 3, analyzing said nucleic acids, and recording data based on the nucleic acids.

5. A maize seed produced by crossing the plant or plant part of claim 3 with a different maize plant.

6. A maize plant produced by growing the maize seed of claim 5.

7. A method for producing a second maize plant comprising applying plant breeding techniques to a first maize plant, or parts thereof, wherein said first maize plant is the maize plant of claim 6, and wherein application of said techniques results in the production of said second maize plant.

8. The method of claim 7, further defined as producing a maize plant derived from the inbred maize variety PH12JY, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing said first maize plant with itself or another maize plant to produce seed of a subsequent generation;

(b) harvesting and planting the seed of the subsequent generation to produce at least one plant of the subsequent generation; and

(c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for an additional 2-10 generations to produce a maize plant derived from maize variety PH12JY.

9. An inbred maize plant derived from the inbred maize variety PH12JY produced by the method of claim 8, wherein said inbred maize plant has essentially the same morphological and physiological characteristics as inbred maize variety PH12JY when grown under the same environmental conditions.

10. The method of claim 7, further defined as producing an inbred maize plant derived from maize variety PH12JY, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing said first maize plant with an inducer variety to produce haploid seed; and

(b) doubling the haploid seed to produce an inbred maize plant derived from maize variety PH12JY.

11. The inbred maize plant derived from the inbred maize variety PH12JY produced by the method of claim 10, wherein said inbred maize plant has essentially the same morphological and physiological characteristics as inbred maize variety PH12JY when grown under the same environmental conditions.

12. A converted seed of inbred maize variety PH12JY, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-120169;

wherein said converted seed comprises a locus conversion; and

wherein said converted seed grows into a plant having essentially the same morphological and physiological characteristics as maize variety PH12JY when grown under the same environmental conditions.

13. The converted seed of claim 12, wherein the locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphorus, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance and disease resistance.

14. A method of collecting molecular data comprising isolating nucleic acids contained in the converted seed of claim 12, analyzing said nucleic acids, and recording data based on the nucleic acids.

15. A plant or plant part produced by growing the converted seed of the inbred maize variety PH12JY of claim 12.

16. A method of collecting molecular data comprising isolating nucleic acids contained in the plant, plant part, or cell of claim 15, analyzing said nucleic acids, and recording data based on the nucleic acids.

17. A maize seed produced by crossing the plant or plant part of claim 15 with a different maize plant.

18. A maize plant produced by growing the seed of claim 17.

19. A method for producing a second maize plant comprising applying plant breeding techniques to a first maize plant, or parts thereof, wherein said first maize plant is the maize plant of claim 18, and wherein application of said techniques results in the production of said second maize plant.

20. The method of claim 19, further defined as producing a maize plant, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing said first maize plant with itself or another maize plant to produce seed of a subsequent generation;

(b) harvesting and planting the seed of the subsequent generation to produce at least one plant of the subsequent generation; and

(c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for an additional 2-10 generations to produce a maize plant.

21. An inbred maize plant derived from the inbred maize variety PH12JY produced by the method of claim 20, wherein said inbred maize plant has essentially the same morphological and physiological characteristics as inbred maize variety PH12JY when grown under the same environmental conditions.

22. The method of claim 19, further defined as producing a maize plant, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing said first maize plant with an inducer variety to produce haploid seed; and

(b) doubling the haploid seed to produce an inbred maize plant.

23. The inbred maize plant derived from the inbred maize variety PH12JY produced by the method of claim 22, wherein said inbred maize plant has essentially the same morphological and physiological characteristics as inbred maize variety PH12JY when grown under the same environmental conditions.
