(a) a plant produced by crossing a plant of variety CV028364, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, with a plant of variety CV105053,
(b) a plant produced by crossing a plant of variety CV105053, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, with a plant of variety CV028364, or
(c) a plant produced by crossing a plant of variety CV105053, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, with a plant produced by crossing a plant of variety CV028364, or a selfed progeny thereof, having a transgene introduced by backcrossing or transformation, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV028364 and CV105053, have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-123039 and PTA-121468, respectively.
8. The seed of claim 7 , 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.
9. A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , said method comprising crossing a plant of variety CV028364 with a plant of variety CV105053, wherein representative seed of variety CV028364 and variety CV105053 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-123039 and PTA-121468, respectively.
10. A seed of hybrid corn variety CH037994, further comprising a single locus conversion, produced by crossing a first plant of variety CV028364 with a second plant of variety CV105053, wherein representative seed of said varieties CV028364 and CV105053 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-123039 and PTA-121468, respectively, and wherein one or both of the first plant and second plant further comprises the single locus conversion, and wherein a plant grown from said seed comprises a trait conferred by said single locus conversion.
11. The seed of claim 10 , wherein the 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.
12. A plant grown from the seed of claim 10 .
13. A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH037994, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) introducing at least a first heritable trait into at least one inbred corn variety selected from the group consisting of variety CV028364 and variety CV105053 to produce a plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait, wherein the heritable trait is introduced into said first inbred corn variety by backcrossing, wherein said backcrossing is sufficient to produce said first plant further comprising the heritable trait, and wherein representative samples of seed of variety CV028364 and variety CV105053 have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers PTA-123039 and PTA-121468, respectively; and
(b) crossing the plant of the first inbred corn variety that heritably carries the trait with a plant of a different variety selected from said group consisting of CV028364 and CV105053, to produce a plant of hybrid corn variety CH037994 further comprising the heritable trait.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the 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. The method of claim 14 , further comprising repeating step (a) at least once to introduce at least a second heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH037994, 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.
16. A plant produced by the method of claim 13 .
17. A method of producing a corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety CH037994, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of claim 2 with a second corn plant to produce a progeny corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety CH037994.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising the steps of:
(a) crossing the progeny corn plant derived from the hybrid corn variety CH037994 with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;
(b) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from the seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant; and
(c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for at least an additional 3-10 generations to produce a corn plant further derived from the hybrid corn variety CH037994.
19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising the step of:
