Sorghum hybrid YS9722
A novel sorghum variety designated YS9722 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 YS9722 with another sorghum plant. Sorghum variety YS9722, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of sorghum variety YS9722 are provided. Methods for producing a sorghum plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into sorghum variety YS9722 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.
1 . An F1 hybrid sorghum variety YS9722 seed produced by crossing a first plant of variety 2PVPJ27A with a second plant of variety PH3261MR, representative seed of the varieties 2PVPJ27A and PH3261MR having been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers 202506032 and 202506031, respectively.
2 . The F1 hybrid sorghum variety YS9722 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 variety YS9722 seed of claim 1 , the plant part comprising at least one cell of sorghum variety YS9722.
4 . The F1 plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 3 , wherein the plant, plant part or plant cell 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) crossing the plant or plant part of claim 3 with itself or a different plant to produce progeny seed;
(b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed.
9 . A method comprising generating a molecular marker profile from markers bound to nucleic acids isolated from the hybrid sorghum variety YS9722 plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 3 .
10 . A seed of F1 hybrid sorghum variety YS9722 further comprising a locus conversion, wherein the seed is produced by crossing a first plant of variety 2PVPJ27A with a second plant of variety PH3261MR; wherein representative seed of the varieties 2PVPJ27A and PH3261MR have been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers 202506032 and 202506031, respectively; and wherein at least one of the varieties 2PVPJ27A and PH3261MR further comprises the locus conversion which is inherited by the seed, and wherein the seed produces a plant which otherwise has all the morphological and physiological characteristics as sorghum variety YS9722 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 locus conversion 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 generating a molecular marker profile from markers bound to nucleic acids isolated from the hybrid sorghum variety YS9722 seed of claim 10 .
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 cell of hybrid sorghum variety YS9722 further comprising a locus conversion.
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, plant part or plant cell 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) crossing the plant or plant part of claim 14 with itself or a different plant to produce progeny seed;
(b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed.
20 . A seed of hybrid sorghum variety YS9722 further comprising a first single locus conversion, produced by crossing a first plant of variety 2PVPJ27A with a second plant of variety PH3261MR, wherein representative seed of said varieties 2PVPJ27A and PH3261MR have been deposited under ATCC Accession numbers 202506032 and 202506031, 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 first single locus conversion, and otherwise comprises all the morphological and physiological characteristics as sorghum variety YS9722 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
