Maize hybrid X08M597
A novel maize variety designated X08M597 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are produced by crossing inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant by crossing hybrid maize variety X08M597 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X08M597 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X08M597, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X08M597 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X08M597 and methods of using maize variety X08M597 are disclosed.

3. A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , the method comprising crossing a plant of variety PH25KM with a plant of variety PH429N.
4. The seed of claim 1 , further comprising a transgene, wherein the transgene is introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation into the variety PH25KM, the variety PH429N, or both varieties PH25KM and PH429N.
5. A seed of hybrid maize variety X08M597 further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein a plant grown from the seed comprises a trait conferred by the single locus conversion, and wherein the seed is produced by crossing a first plant of variety PH25KM with a second plant of variety PH429N, wherein the first plant, the second plant or both further comprise the single locus conversion, and wherein representative seed of the varieties PH25KM and PH429N have been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-123754 and PTA-124812, respectively.
6. The hybrid maize variety X08M597 seed of claim 5 , wherein the locus conversion confers a property 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.
7. The hybrid maize variety X08M597 seed of claim 5 , further comprising a seed treatment on the surface of the seed.
8. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the hybrid maize variety X08M597 seed of claim 5 .
9. A plant or plant part grown from the hybrid maize variety X08M597 seed of claim 5 , the plant part comprising at least one cell of hybrid maize variety X08M597 further comprising the single locus conversion.
10. A method of producing a commodity plant product comprising starch, syrup, silage, fat or protein, the method comprising producing the commodity plant product from the plant or plant part of claim 9 .
11. A method for producing a second maize plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 9 to produce the second maize plant.
12. A method for producing a hybrid maize variety X08M597 seed further comprising a locus conversion, the method comprising crossing a first plant of variety PH25KM with a second plant of variety PH429N, representative seed of the varieties PH25KM and PH429N having been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-123754 and PTA-124812, respectively, wherein at least one of the varieties PH25KM and PH429N further comprises the locus conversion.
13. F1 hybrid maize variety X08M597 seed further comprising a locus conversion produced by the method of claim 12 , wherein the seed produces a plant expressing the traits conferred by the locus conversion and comprising otherwise all the physiological and morphological characteristics of maize variety X08M597 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
14. The seed of claim 13 , further comprising a seed treatment on the surface of the seed.
15. The seed of claim 13 , wherein the locus conversion confers a property 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 method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed of claim 13 .
17. A plant or plant part produced by growing the seed of claim 13 , the plant part comprising at least one F1 hybrid maize variety X08M597 cell further comprising the locus conversion.
18. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant or plant part of claim 17 .
19. A method of producing a commodity plant product comprising starch, syrup, silage, fat or protein, the method comprising producing the commodity plant product from the plant or plant part of claim 17 .
