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 CH011131.

12. A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH011131, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) introducing at least said heritable trait into a first inbred corn variety CV579327, a second inbred corn variety CV478906, or both inbred corn varieties CV579327 and CV478906 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 CV579327 and CV478906 are deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-125244 and NCMA Accession No. 202005033, respectively; and

(b) producing a plant of hybrid corn variety CH011131 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 CV579327 and CV478906, 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 CH011131, 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 CH011131 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

16. A method of producing a progeny corn plant derived from hybrid corn variety CH011131, 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 CH011131.

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 CH011131 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 CH011131.
