Maize hybrid X13M618
A novel maize variety designated X13M618 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 X13M618 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X13M618 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X13M618, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X13M618 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X13M618 and methods of using maize variety X13M618 are disclosed.

3. A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , the method comprising crossing a plant of variety PH1V69 with a plant of variety PH41JM.
4. A seed of hybrid maize variety X13M618 further comprising a single locus conversion, the single locus conversion being introduced by genetic transformation or backcrossing, 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 PH1V69 with a second plant of variety PH41JM, wherein the first plant, the second plant or both further comprise the single locus conversion, and wherein representative seed of the varieties PH1V69 and PH41JM have been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-122439 and PTA-124804, respectively.
5. The seed of claim 4 , wherein the single locus conversion comprises a transgene.
6. The hybrid maize variety X13M618 seed of claim 4 , 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 X13M618 seed of claim 4 , 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 X13M618 seed of claim 4 .
9. A plant or plant part grown from the hybrid maize variety X13M618 seed of claim 4 , the plant part comprising at least one cell of hybrid maize variety X13M618 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 X13M618 seed further comprising a locus conversion, the method comprising crossing a first plant of variety PH1V69 with a second plant of variety PH41JM, representative seed of the varieties PH1V69 and PH41JM having been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-122439 and PTA-124804, respectively, wherein at least one of the varieties PH1V69 and PH41JM further comprises the locus conversion.
13. An F1 hybrid maize variety X13M618 seed further comprising a locus conversion produced by the method of claim 12 , wherein the locus conversion is introduced by genetic transformation or backcrossing and 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 X13M618 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 X13M618 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 .
20. A method for producing a second maize plant, the method comprising crossing the maize plant or plant part of claim 17 with itself or with a different maize plant.
