NOVEL PRODUCTION METHOD FOR CORN WITH ENHANCED QUALITY GRAIN TRAITS

A novel method of producing corn grain with a high oil content has been developed. Through pollination of male-sterile hybrid corn plants by nonisogenic corn plants possessing the trait of high-oil, grain is obtained possessing an oil content much higher than would be expected for self- or cross-pol...

Zusammenfassung:A novel method of producing corn grain with a high oil content has been developed. Through pollination of male-sterile hybrid corn plants by nonisogenic corn plants possessing the trait of high-oil, grain is obtained possessing an oil content much higher than would be expected for self- or cross-pollination. This method can be practiced by farmers using currently accepted farming practices to directly obtain high yields of high-oil corn grain for animal feed and other products.
