Abstract

The present invention provides an inbred corn line designated HID4731, methods for producing a corn plant by crossing plants of the inbred line HID4731 with plants of another corn plant. The invention further encompasses all parts of inbred corn line HID4731, including culturable cells. Additionally provided herein are methods for introducing transgenes into inbred corn line HID4731, and plants produced according to these methods.

Claims (21)

1. A seed of maize variety HID4731, wherein representative seed of said variety HID4731 have been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121949.

2. A plant of maize variety HID4731, wherein representative seed of said variety HID4731 have been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121949.

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

4. The plant part of claim 2 , wherein said part is a pollen grain, a silk, a protoplast, a cell, a tassel, an anther or an ovule.

5. A maize seed produced on the plant of claim 2 .

6. A maize plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant according to claim 2 and further comprising an additional trait, wherein the additional trait is selected from the group consisting of increased water stress resistance, waxy starch, male sterility or restoration of male fertility, modified carbohydrate metabolism, modified protein metabolism and modified fatty acid metabolism, altered starch, thermotolerant amylase, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, nematode resistance, bacterial disease resistance, fungal disease resistance, and viral disease resistance.

7. The plant of claim 6 wherein the additional trait is conferred by introducing a transgene.

8. A process for producing maize seed, said process comprising crossing the maize plant of claim 2 with a different plant.

9. A maize seed produced by the process of claim 8 .

10. A maize plant produced by germinating the seed of claim 9 .

11. A method of producing a genetic marker profile comprising extracting nucleic acids from the seed of claim 9 or the plant germinated from said seed and genotyping said nucleic acids at one or more genetic loci, thereby producing a genetic marker profile.

12. A method of plant breeding comprising a)isolating nucleic acids from the seed of claim 9 , b) identifying one or more polymorphisms from the isolated nucleic acids, and c) selecting a plant having one or more polymorphisms wherein the plant is used in a plant breeding method.

13. A method of plant breeding comprising a) isolating nucleic acids from the plant of claim 10 , b) identifying one or more polymorphisms from the isolated nucleic acids, and c) selecting a plant having one or more polymorphisms wherein the plant is used in a plant breeding method.

14. A process of introducing an additional trait into maize plant HID4731 comprising: (a) crossing HID4731 plants grown from HID4731 seed, representative seed deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121949, with plants of another maize plant that comprise an additional trait to produce hybrid progeny plants, (b) selecting hybrid progeny plants that have the additional trait to produce selected hybrid progeny plants; (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the HID4731 plants to produce backcross progeny plants; (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the additional trait to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) at least three or more times to produce backcross progeny plants that comprise the additional trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of maize inbred plant HID4731 when grown in the same environmental conditions.

15. A plant produced by the process of claim 14 .

16. A method of producing a maize plant derived from the inbred plant HID4731, the method comprising the steps of (a) growing the plant of claim 10 ;

(b) crossing said plant with itself or a different plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant; (c) growing said progeny plant from said seed and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce an inbred maize plant derived from the inbred plant HID4731.

17. A method for developing a second maize plant in a maize plant breeding program, comprising applying plant breeding techniques wherein said techniques comprise recurrent selection, backcrossing, pedigree breeding, marker enhanced selection, haploid/double haploid production, or transformation to the maize plant of claim 10 , wherein application of said techniques results in development of a second maize variety.

18. A method of producing a commodity plant product comprising growing the plant from the seed of claim 9 , and producing said commodity plant product comprising protein concentrate, protein isolate, starch, meal, flour or oil therefrom.

19. A method of producing a maize plant with doubled haploid chromosomes derived from the maize variety HID4731 the method comprising:

(a) crossing the plant of claim 10 , wherein said plant may have one or more traits, with an inducer maize plant to produce a progeny with haploid chromosomes; and (b) doubling the haploid chromosomes in the progeny to produce a maize plant with doubled haploid chromosomes.
