Abstract

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH260114. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH260114, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH260114 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH260114.

Claims

1. A seed of the hybrid corn variety CH260114, produced by crossing a first plant of variety I180580 with a second plant of variety CV234930, wherein representative seed of said varieties I180580 and CV234930 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-4490 and PTA-11784, respectively.

2. A plant of the hybrid corn variety CH260114 grown from the seed of claim 1.

3. A plant part of the plant of claim 2.

4. The plant part of claim 3, further defined as an ear, ovule, pollen or cell.

5. A composition comprising the seed of claim 1 comprised in plant seed growth media.

6. The composition of claim 5, wherein the growth media is soil or a synthetic cultivation medium.

17. A method of producing a corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety CH260114, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of claim 2 with a second corn plant to produce a progeny corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety CH260114.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing the progeny corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety CH260114 with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;

(b) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from the seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant; and

(c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for at least an additional 3-10 generations to produce a corn plant further derived from the hybrid corn variety CH260114.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising the step of:

(d) crossing the corn plant further derived from the hybrid corn variety CH260114 with a second, distinct corn plant.

20. A method of producing a commodity plant product, said method comprising obtaining the plant of claim 2 or a part thereof and producing said commodity plant product therefrom.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the commodity plant product is grain, starch, seed oil, corn syrup or protein.

7. A seed produced by crossing

(a) a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing or transformation a transgene into a plant of variety I180580, or a selfed progeny thereof, with a plant of variety CV234930,

(b) a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing or transformation a transgene into a plant of variety CV234930, or a selfed progeny thereof, with a plant of variety I180580, or

(c) a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing or transformation a transgene into a plant of variety CV234930, or a selfed progeny thereof, with a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing or transformation a transgene into a plant of variety I180580, or a selfed progeny thereof,

wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce a first or second plant comprising the transgene and otherwise essentially all of the physiological and morphological traits of variety I180580 or variety CV234930, and

wherein representative seed of said varieties I180580 and CV234930 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-4490 and PTA-11784, respectively, and wherein the transgene is inherited by the seed.

8. The seed of claim 7, wherein the transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism.

9. A method of producing hybrid corn seed, said method comprising crossing a plant of variety I180580 with a plant of variety CV234930, wherein representative seed of variety I180580 and variety CV234930 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-4490 and PTA-11784, respectively.

10. A seed-produced by crossing

(a) a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing a single locus conversion into a plant of variety I180580, or a selfed progeny thereof, with a plant of variety CV234930,

(b) a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing a single locus conversion into a plant of variety CV234930, or a selfed progeny thereof, with a plant of variety I180580, or

(c) a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing a single locus conversion into a plant of variety CV234930, or a selfed progeny thereof, with a plant produced by introducing by backcrossing a single locus conversion into a plant of variety I180580, or a selfed progeny thereof,

wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce a first or second plant comprising the transgene and otherwise essentially all of the physiological and morphological traits of variety I180580 or variety CV234930, and

wherein representative seed of said varieties I180580 and CV234930 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-4490 and PTA-11784, respectively, and wherein the single locus conversion is inherited by the seed.

11. The seed of claim 10, wherein the single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism.

12. A plant grown from the seed of claim 10.

13. A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH260114, said method comprising the steps of:

(a) introducing at least a first heritable trait into at least one inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of variety I180580 and variety CV234930 to produce a plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait, wherein the heritable trait is introduced into said first inbred corn variety by backcrossing, wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce a first or second plant comprising the heritable trait and otherwise essentially all of the physiological and morphological traits of variety I180580 or variety CV234930, and wherein representative samples of seed of variety I180580 and variety CV234930 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-4490 and PTA-11784, respectively; and

(b) crossing a plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait with a plant of a different variety selected from said group consisting of I180580 and CV234930 to produce a plant comprising the heritable trait.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein step (a) further comprises introducing at least a second heritable trait into said at least one inbred corn variety, wherein the second heritable trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, waxy starch, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified phytic acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified protein metabolism.

16. A plant produced by the method of claim 13.
