Abstract

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH010371. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH010371, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH010371 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH010371.

Claims (25)

1 . A seed of hybrid corn variety CH010371, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV753235 with a second plant of variety CV871614, wherein representative seeds of said varieties CV753235 and CV871614 are deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124506 and ATCC Accession No. PTA-123820, respectively.

2 . A plant of the hybrid corn variety CH010371 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 CH010371.

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 . The seed of claim 1 , further comprising a transgene, wherein said transgene is introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation into said variety CV753235, said variety CV871614, or both varieties CV753235 and CV871614.

7 . The seed of claim 6 , wherein the transgene 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.

8 . A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , the method comprising crossing a plant of variety CV753235 with a plant of variety CV871614.

9 . A seed of hybrid corn variety CH010371 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 morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH010371, and wherein said seed is produced by crossing a first plant selected from the group consisting of variety CV753235 and selfed progeny thereof with a second plant selected from a second group consisting of variety CV871614 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 CV753235 and CV871614 are deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124506 and ATCC Accession No. PTA-123820, respectively.

10 . The seed of claim 9 , 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.

11 . A plant grown from the seed of claim 9 , wherein said plant comprises said trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH010371.

12 . A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH010371, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) introducing at least said heritable trait into a first inbred corn variety CV753235, a second inbred corn variety CV871614, or both inbred corn varieties CV753235 and CV871614 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 CV753235 and CV871614 are deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-124506 and ATCC Accession No. PTA-123820, respectively; and

(b) producing a plant of hybrid corn variety CH010371 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 CV753235 and CV871614, 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.

13 . The method of claim 12 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.

14 . The method of claim 12 further comprising repeating step (a) at least once to introduce at least a second heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH010371, 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.

15 . A plant produced by the method of claim 12 , wherein said plant comprises said heritable trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of corn variety CH010371 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

16 . A method of producing a progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH010371, 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 CH010371.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein said plant breeding techniques comprise backcrossing, marker assisted breeding, pedigree breeding, selfing, outcrossing, haploid production, doubled haploid production, or transformation.

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

(a) crossing said progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH010371 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 CH010371.

19 . 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 wherein said plant part comprises a cell of hybrid corn variety CH010371.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein said commodity plant product is grain, starch, seed oil, corn syrup, or protein.
