Abstract

According to the disclosure, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH010437. The disclosure thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of the variety CH010437, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH010437 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The disclosure further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH010437.

Claims (23)

1 . A seed of hybrid corn variety CH010437, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV398787 with a second plant of variety CV899591, wherein representative seeds of said varieties CV398787 and CV899591 are deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202106010 and NCMA Accession No. 202206087, respectively.

2 . A plant of the hybrid corn variety CH010437 grown from said seed of claim 1 .

3 . A plant part of the plant of claim 2 , wherein said plant part comprises a cell of said hybrid corn variety CH010437.

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

5 . The composition of claim 4 , wherein said growth media is soil or a synthetic cultivation medium.

6 . A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , the method comprising crossing a plant of variety CV398787 with a plant of variety CV899591.

7 . A seed of hybrid corn variety CH010437 further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein a plant grown from said seed comprises a trait conferred by said single locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant of the hybrid corn variety CH010437 when grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein said seed is produced by crossing a first plant selected from the group consisting of variety CV398787 and selfed progeny thereof with a second plant selected from a second group consisting of variety CV899591 and selfed progeny thereof, wherein said first plant, said second plant, or both further comprise said single locus conversion, and wherein representative seeds of said varieties CV398787 and CV899591 are deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202106010 and NCMA Accession No. 202206087, respectively.

8 . The seed of claim 7 , wherein said 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.

9 . A plant grown from the seed of claim 7 .

10 . A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH010437, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) introducing at least said heritable trait into a first inbred corn variety CV398787, a second inbred corn variety CV899591, or both inbred corn varieties CV398787 and CV899591 to produce plants of said inbred corn varieties that heritably carry said heritable trait, wherein said heritable trait is introduced into said inbred corn varieties by backcrossing, wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce an inbred corn variety further comprising said heritable trait, and wherein representative seeds of said inbred corn varieties CV398787 and CV899591 are deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202106010 and NCMA Accession No. 202206087, respectively; and

(b) producing a plant of hybrid corn variety CH010437 further comprising said heritable trait by crossing a plant of said first or said second inbred corn variety that heritably carries said heritable trait with a plant of a different inbred corn variety selected from a group consisting of inbred corn varieties CV398787 and CV899591, or crossing a plant of said first inbred corn variety and a plant of said second inbred corn variety that both heritably carry said heritable trait.

11 . The method of claim 10 wherein said 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.

12 . The method of claim 10 further comprising repeating step (a) at least once to introduce at least a second heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH010437, 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.

13 . A plant produced by the method of claim 10 , wherein said plant comprises said heritable trait and otherwise comprises all the morphological and physiological characteristics of corn variety CH010437 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

14 . A method of producing a progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH010437, wherein the method comprises applying plant breeding techniques to the plant of claim 2 to produce said progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH010437.

15 . A method of producing a progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH010437, wherein the method comprises applying at least one technique selected from the group consisting of backcrossing, marker assisted breeding, pedigree breeding, selfing, outcrossing, haploid production, doubled haploid production, and transformation to the plant of claim 2 to yield said progeny corn plant.

16 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing said progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH010437 with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;

(b) growing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation from said seed of the progeny plant of the subsequent generation; and

(c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for at least an additional 3-10 generations to produce a progeny corn plant further derived from the hybrid corn variety CH010437.

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

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein said commodity plant product is grain, starch, seed oil, corn syrup, or protein.
