Maize hybrid X08R870
A novel maize variety designated X08R870 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 X08R870 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X08R870 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X08R870, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X08R870 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X08R870 and methods of using maize variety X08R870 are disclosed.

5. A seed of hybrid maize X08R870 further comprising a locus conversion, wherein the locus conversion is introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation, wherein a plant grown from the seed comprises a trait conferred by the single locus conversion, wherein the seed is produced by crossing a first plant of maize line PH47CN with a second plant of maize line 1PKRW62, wherein the first plant, the second plant or both further comprise the locus conversion, and wherein representative seeds of the maize lines PH47CN and 1PKRW62 have been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202204025 and 202303021, respectively, and wherein the seed produces a plant having otherwise all the physiological and morphological characteristics as hybrid maize X08R870 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
6. The hybrid maize X08R870 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 X08R870 seed of claim 5 , further comprising a seed treatment on the surface of the seed.
