Abstract

An inbred maize line, designated PH06N, the plants and seeds of inbred maize line PH06N, methods for producing a maize plant produced by crossing the inbred line PH06N with itself or with another maize plant, and hybrid maize seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PH06N with another maize line or plant.

Claims

1. Seed of maize inbred line designated PH06N and having ATCC Accession No. 97996.

2. A maize plant and its parts produced by the seed of claim 1 and its plant parts.

3. Pollen of the plant of claim 2.

4. An ovule of the plant of claim 2.

5. A maize plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 2.

6. A male sterile maize plant otherwise having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 2.

10. A method for producing first generation (F₁) hybrid maize seed comprising crossing a first inbred parent maize plant with a second inbred parent maize plant and harvesting the resultant first generation (F₁) hybrid maize seed, wherein said first or second parent maize plant is the maize plant of claim 2.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the maize plant of claim 2 is the female parent.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein the maize plant of claim 2 is the male parent.

13. An F₁ hybrid seed grown therefrom produced by crossing an inbred maize plant according to claim 2 with another, different maize plant.

14. An F₁ hybrid plant and its parts grown from the seed of claim 13.

7. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of an inbred maize plant PH06N, wherein the tissue regenerates plants capable of expressing all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the maize plant named PH06N, the seed of which has been deposited and have ATCC Accession No. 97996.

8. A tissue culture of claim 7, the tissue culture selected from the group consisting of leaves, pollen, embryos, roots, root tips, anthers, silks, flowers, kernels, ears, cobs, husks, stalks, cells and protoplasts thereof.

9. A maize plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 7, capable of expressing all the morphological and physiological characteristics of inbred PH06N.
