Abstract

A novel sorghum variety designated 2PVPJ27A and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are provided. Methods for producing a plant comprise crossing sorghum variety 2PVPJ27A with another plant. Sorghum seed, plants and plant parts produced by crossing sorghum variety 2PVPJ27A with another plant are described. Methods for producing a plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into 2PVPJ27A include one or both of backcross conversion and transformation. Hybrid sorghum seed, plants or plant parts produced by crossing the sorghum variety 2PVPJ27A or a locus conversion of 2PVPJ27A with another sorghum variety are disclosed.

Claims (23)

1 . A seed of sorghum line 2PVPJ27A, representative seed of the sorghum line 2PVPJ27A having been deposited under NCMA Accession Number 202506032.

2 . A plant, non-seed plant part, seed or plant cell produced by growing the sorghum line 2PVPJ27A seed of claim 1 .

3 . The plant, non-seed plant part, seed or plant cell of claim 2 , further comprising less than six locus conversions, wherein the plant or a plant grown from the plant part, seed or plant cell comprises the less than six locus conversions and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sorghum line variety 2PVPJ27A when grown under the same environmental conditions.

4 . The plant, non-seed plant part, seed, or plant cell of claim 3 , wherein the less than six locus conversions confers a property selected from the group consisting of abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate content, altered antioxidant content, altered fatty acid profile, altered essential amino acid profile, altered carbohydrate content, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and salt tolerance.

5 . A method for modifying a cell of the seed of claim 1 or a cell of a plant grown from the seed, the method comprising performing genome editing techniques on the cell of the seed or the cell of the plant, such that the cell of the seed or the plant is modified.

6 . A sorghum seed produced by crossing the plant or non-seed plant part of claim 4 with a different plant.

7 . An F1 hybrid plant produced by growing the seed of claim 6 .

8 . A plant part comprising at least one cell of the F1 hybrid plant of claim 7 .

9 . A method of producing a sorghum seed, the method comprising crossing two sorghum plants and harvesting the resultant sorghum seed, wherein at least one of the sorghum plants is the sorghum plant of claim 4 .

10 . A sorghum seed produced by crossing the plant or non-seed plant part of claim 2 with a different plant.

11 . An F1 hybrid plant produced by growing the seed of claim 10 .

12 . A plant part comprising at least one cell of the F1 hybrid plant of claim 11 .

13 . A non-seed plant part produced by growing the seed of claim 10 .

14 . The F1 hybrid seed of claim 11 further comprising a single locus conversion.

15 . A method of producing a sorghum seed, the method comprising crossing two sorghum plants and harvesting the resultant sorghum seed, wherein at least one of the sorghum plants is the sorghum plant of claim 2 .

16 . A method for producing a second sorghum plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from a cross of the plant or non-seed plant part of claim 2 with an inducer line, thereby producing the second sorghum plant or plant part.

17 . A method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant, non-seed plant part, seed or plant cell of claim 2 .

18 . A method of plant breeding, the method comprising:

(a) crossing a plant of sorghum line 2PVPJ27A with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants, representative seed of said sorghum line 2PVPJ27A having been deposited under NCMA Accession Number 202506032;

(b) selecting at least a first progeny plant from step (a) that comprises the single locus to produce a selected progeny plant;

(c) crossing the selected progeny plant from step (b) with a plant of sorghum line 2PVPJ27A to produce a backcross progeny plant that comprises the single locus.

19 . A plant, non-seed plant part, seed, or plant cell of sorghum line 2PVPJ27A, representative seed of the sorghum line 2PVPJ27A having been deposited under NCMA Accession Number 202506032, the plant, non-seed plant part, seed, or plant cell further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein the single locus conversion is introduced into sorghum line 2PVPJ27A by backcrossing or transformation.

20 . The plant, plant part, seed, or plant cell of claim 19 , wherein the locus conversion confers a property selected from the group consisting of abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate content, altered antioxidant content, altered fatty acid profile, altered essential amino acid profile, altered carbohydrate content, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and salt tolerance.
