Abstract

A novel sorghum variety designated XSW7611 and seed, plants, plant parts and plant cells thereof are produced from a cross of inbred sorghum varieties. Methods for producing a sorghum plant comprise crossing hybrid sorghum variety XSW7611 with another sorghum plant. Sorghum variety XSW7611, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of sorghum variety XSW7611 are provided. Methods for producing a sorghum plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into sorghum variety XSW7611 include one or both of backcross conversion and transformation of one or both inbred parents. The sorghum seed, plants and plant parts produced thereby are described.

Claims (24)

1 . An F1 hybrid sorghum XSW7611 seed produced by crossing a first plant of sorghum line 2PQCS69A with a second plant of sorghum line 2PFCH75N, representative seeds of the sorghum lines 2PQCS69A and 2PFCH75N having been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202403030 and 202403024, respectively.

2 . The F1 hybrid sorghum XSW7611 seed of claim 1 , further comprising a seed treatment on the seed.

3 . An F1 plant, plant part, or plant cell produced by growing the F1 hybrid sorghum XSW7611 seed of claim 1 , the plant part comprising at least one F1 hybrid sorghum XSW7611 cell.

4 . The F1 plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 3 , wherein the plant part is a pollen or ovule.

5 . A method of making a commodity plant product, the method comprising producing the commodity plant product from the plant or plant part of claim 3 .

6 . A method comprising cleaning the plant part of claim 3 , wherein the plant part comprises sorghum grain.

7 . A method for producing a second sorghum plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 3 to produce the second sorghum plant.

8 . A method comprising:

(a) self-pollinating the plant of claim 3 or crossing the plant or plant part of claim 3 with a different plant to produce progeny seed;

(b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and self-pollinating the progeny plant or crossing the progeny plant with a different plant to produce further progeny seed.

9 . A method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 3 and generating a molecular marker profile from markers bound to the isolated nucleic acids.

10 . A seed of F 1 hybrid sorghum XSW7611 further comprising fewer than six locus conversions, wherein the seed is produced by crossing a first plant of sorghum line 2PQCS69A with a second plant of sorghum line 2PFCH75N; wherein representative seeds of the sorghum lines 2PQCS69A and 2PFCH75N have been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202403030 and 202403024, respectively; and wherein at least one of the sorghum lines 2PQCS69A and 2PFCH75N further comprises the fewer than six locus conversions which is inherited by the seed, and wherein the seed produces a plant which otherwise has all the morphological and physiological characteristics as sorghum XSW7611 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

11 . The seed of claim 10 , further comprising a seed treatment on the seed.

12 . The seed of claim 10 , wherein the fewer than six locus conversions confers a property selected from the group consisting of male sterility, site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance and disease resistance.

13 . A method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 10 and generating a molecular marker profile from markers bound to the isolated nucleic acids.

14 . An F1 plant, plant part, or plant cell produced by growing the seed of claim 10 , wherein the plant part comprises at least one F1 hybrid sorghum XSW7611 cell further comprising the fewer than six locus conversions.

15 . A method comprising cleaning the plant part of claim 14 , wherein the plant part comprises sorghum grain.

16 . The F1 plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 14 , wherein the plant part is a pollen or ovule.

17 . A method of making a commodity plant product, the method comprising producing the commodity plant product from the plant or plant part of claim 14 .

18 . A method for producing a second sorghum plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 14 to produce the second sorghum plant.

19 . A method comprising:

(a) self-pollinating the plant of claim 14 or crossing the plant or plant part of claim 14 with a different plant to produce progeny seed;

(b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and self-pollinating the progeny plant or crossing the progeny plant with a different plant to produce further progeny seed.

20 . A seed of hybrid sorghum XSW7611 further comprising a single locus conversion, produced by crossing a first plant of sorghum line 2PQCS69A with a second plant of sorghum line 2PFCH75N, wherein representative seed of said sorghum lines 2PQCS69A and 2PFCH75N have been deposited under NCMA Accession Numbers 202403030 and 202403024, respectively, and wherein one or both of the first plant and second plant further comprises the single locus conversion, and wherein a plant grown from said seed comprises a trait conferred by said single locus conversion, and otherwise comprises all the morphological and physiological characteristics as sorghum XSW7611 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
