Maize hybrid X08V906
A novel maize variety designated X08V906 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 X08V906 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X08V906 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X08V906, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X08V906 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X08V906 and methods of using maize variety X08V906 are disclosed.

3. A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , the method comprising crossing a plant of the maize line 1PQQS32 with a plant of the maize line PH4CAY.
4. The seed of claim 1 , further comprising a transgene, wherein the transgene is introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation into the maize line 1PQQS32, the maize line PH4CAY, or both maize lines 1PQQS32 and PH4CAY.
5. A seed of hybrid maize X08V906 further comprising a single locus conversion, 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 1PQQS32 with a second plant of maize line PH4CAY, wherein the first plant, the second plant or both further comprise the single locus conversion, wherein representative seeds of the maize lines 1PQQS32 and PH4CAY have been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202205180 and 202207005, respectively, and wherein the seed produces a plant having otherwise all the physiological and morphological characteristics of hybrid maize variety X08V906 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
6. The hybrid maize X08V906 seed of claim 4 , wherein the transgene 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 X08V906 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 X08V906 seed of claim 4 .
9. A plant or plant part grown from the hybrid maize X08V906 seed of claim 4 , the plant part comprising at least F1 hybrid maize X08V906 cell further comprising the transgene.
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 X08V906 seed further comprising fewer than six locus conversions, the method comprising crossing a first plant of maize line 1 PQQS32 with a second plant of maize line PH4CAY, representative seeds of the maize lines 1 PQQS32 and PH4CAY having been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202205180 and 202207005, respectively, wherein at least one of the maize lines 1PQQS32 and PH4CA Y further comprises the fewer than six locus conversions.
13. An F1 hybrid maize X08V906 seed further comprising fewer than six locus conversions produced by the method of claim 12 ,
wherein the seed produces a plant expressing the traits conferred by the fewer than six locus conversions and comprising otherwise all the physiological and morphological characteristics of hybrid maize X08V906 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 fewer than six locus conversions confer 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 X08V906 cell further comprising the fewer than eight locus conversions.
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 .
