Sorghum hybrid R17K2576
A novel sorghum variety designated R17K2576 and seed, plants, plant parts and plant cells thereof are produced from a cross of inbred sorghum varieties. Methods for producing a sorghum plant comprise crossing hybrid sorghum variety R17K2576 with another sorghum plant. Sorghum variety R17K2576, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of sorghum variety R17K2576 are provided. Methods for producing a sorghum plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into sorghum variety R17K2576 include one or both of backcross conversion and transformation of one or both inbred parents. The sorghum seed, plants and plant parts produced thereby are described.
1 . A plant of sorghum variety R17K2576, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under NCMA Accession Number 202511001.
2 . A treated seed of the sorghum variety R17K2576, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under NCMA Accession Number 202511001, the seed comprising a seed treatment on the surface of the seed.
3 . A method for producing the seed of claim 2 , the method comprising applying the seed treatment on the surface of the seed of the sorghum variety R17K2576.
4 . The seed of claim 2 , wherein the treatment comprises a fungicide, insecticide or a combination thereof.
5 . A plant part of the sorghum plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant part comprises at least one cell of the sorghum variety R17K2576.
6 . A method comprising cleaning seed harvested from the plant of claim 1 .
7 . A method for producing ethanol, the method comprising processing the plant of claim 1 or seed produced by the plant to produce ethanol.
8 . A method of producing a sorghum seed, the method comprising growing the plant of claim 1 to produce a subsequent generation of seed; and harvesting the subsequent generation of seed.
9 . The method of claim 3 further comprising cleaning the seed prior to applying the seed treatment.
10 . A method for producing a second sorghum plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from the plant of claim 1 , thereby producing the second sorghum plant or plant part.
11 . A method for producing a plant further comprising a trait, the method comprising introducing a gene conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1 .
12 . A method for producing a second sorghum plant or plant part, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 1 , thereby producing the second sorghum plant.
13 . A method for producing a sorghum plant derived from sorghum variety R17K2576, the method comprising:
(a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second plant to produce progeny seed; and
(b) growing the progeny seed to produce a plant derived from sorghum variety R17K2576.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, a site for site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide resistance, insect resistance and disease resistance.
15 . A method for producing a second sorghum plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from the plant of claim 1 , thereby producing the second sorghum plant or plant part.
16 . A method of producing a commodity plant product comprising carbohydrate, silage, oil or protein, the method comprising producing the commodity plant product from the plant of claim 1 or a plant part thereof, the plant part comprising at least one cell of the sorghum variety R17K2576.
17 . A plant grown from the seed of claim 2 .
18 . A plant produced by the method of claim 11 , the plant comprising the trait.
19 . A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from a seed, plant or plant part of sorghum variety R17K2576, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under NCMA Accession Number 202511001.
