Maize hybrid X85N946
View Patent ↗A novel maize variety designated X85N946 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 X85N946 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X85N946 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X85N946, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X85N946 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X85N946 and methods of using maize variety X85N946 are disclosed.
1. A seed of hybrid maize variety X85N946, representative seed produced by crossing a first plant of variety PH4358 with a second plant of variety PH2TNV, wherein representative seed of the varieties PH4358 and PH2TNV have been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-124774 and PTA-124591, respectively.
2. A plant or plant part of hybrid maize variety X85N946 grown from the seed of claim 1 , wherein the plant part comprises at least one cell of hybrid maize variety X85N946.
3. A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , the method comprising crossing a plant of variety PH4358 with a plant of variety PH2TNV.
4. A seed of hybrid maize variety X85N946, further comprising a transgene, representative seed produced by crossing a first plant of variety PH4358 with a second plant of variety PH2TNV wherein representative seed of the varieties PH4358 and PH2TNV have been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-124774 and PTA-124591, respectively, and wherein the transgene has been introduced into at least one of variety PH4358 and PH2TNV.
5. A seed of hybrid maize variety X85N946 further comprising a locus conversion, wherein a plant grown from the seed comprises a trait conferred by the locus conversion, and wherein the seed is produced by crossing a first plant of variety PH4358 with a second plant of variety PH2TNV, wherein the first plant, the second plant or both further comprise the locus conversion, and wherein representative seed of the varieties PH4358 and PH2TNV have been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-124774 and PTA-124591, respectively and wherein the seed produces a plant having otherwise all the physiological and morphological characteristics as hybrid maize variety X85N946 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
6. The hybrid maize variety X85N946 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 X85N946 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 X85N946 seed of claim 5 .
9. A plant or plant part grown from the hybrid maize variety X85N946 seed of claim 5 , the plant part comprising at least one cell of hybrid maize variety X85N946 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 the hybrid maize variety X85N946 seed of claim 4 , the method comprising crossing a first plant of variety PH4358 with a second plant of variety PH2TNV, representative seed of the varieties PH4358 and PH2TNV having been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-124774 and PTA-124591, respectively, wherein at least one of the varieties PH4358 and PH2TNV further comprises the transgene.
13. The seed of claim 4 , further comprising a seed treatment on the surface of the seed.
14. The 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.
15. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed of claim 4 .
16. A plant or plant part produced by growing the seed of claim 4 , the plant part comprising at least one hybrid maize variety X85N946 cell further comprising the locus conversion.
17. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant or plant part of claim 16 .
18. 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 16 .
19. A method for producing a second maize plant, the method comprising crossing the maize plant or plant part of claim 16 with itself or with a different maize plant.
20. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant or plant part of claim 9 .
