8 . A method of producing the seed of claim 1 , the method comprising crossing a plant of variety CV495012 with a plant of variety CV901634.
9 . A seed of hybrid corn variety CH010378 further comprising a single locus conversion, wherein a plant grown from said seed comprises a trait conferred by said single locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of hybrid corn variety CH010378, and wherein said seed is produced by crossing a first plant selected from the group consisting of variety CV495012 and selfed progeny thereof with a second plant selected from a second group consisting of variety CV901634 and selfed progeny thereof, wherein said first plant, said second plant, or both further comprise said single locus conversion, and wherein representative seeds of said varieties CV495012 and CV901634 are deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202106022 and NCMA Accession No. 202206053, respectively.
10 . The seed of claim 9 , wherein said single locus conversion confers a trait 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.
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 CH010378.
12 . A method of introducing a heritable trait into hybrid corn variety CH010378, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) introducing at least said heritable trait into a first inbred corn variety CV495012, a second inbred corn variety CV901634, or both inbred corn varieties CV495012 and CV901634 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 CV495012 and CV901634 are deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202106022 and NCMA Accession No. 202206053, respectively; and
(b) producing a plant of hybrid corn variety CH010378 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 CV495012 and CV901634, 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 CH010378, 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.
