METHOD FOR PRODUCING MAIZE CORN, MAIZE PLANT AND HYBRID

摘要

A corn seed having an oleic acid value of at least 65 percent by weight relative to the total fatty acid of the seed. A sub-group of corn varieties and lines of plants that produce seeds having an oleic acid value in the range of 45 to 57 percent predicable by conventional methods. Corn materials and lines can be produced from this sub-group and subjected to cyclic inter-mating. The high oleic acid progeny are cyclically self-pollinated and selected for a seed and oleic content of at least 65% by weight or a mean oleic acid content of 45% for commercially accepted genotypes or a mean oleic content of 55% for non-commercially acceptable genotypes.. USE/ADVANTAGE - Corn products and methods for their production relating to corn seed, corn plant, corn oil other corn and corn hybrid products. - (Dwg.0/0 1BR-00)
