g06 - np2593 is shown in comparison with a number of standard inbreds used for comparison by the us pvp office . the present inbred is in the hybrid , x19596 and has a relative maturity of 1 . 5 or 1 . 6 . the inbred provides uniformity and stability within the limits of environmental influence for traits as described in the variety description information ( table 1 ) that follows . the inbred has been self - pollinated for a sufficient number of generations to give inbred uniformity . during plant selection in each generation , the uniformity of plant type was selected to ensure homozygosity and phenotypic stability . the line has been increased in isolated farmland environments with data on uniformity and agronomic traits being observed to assure uniformity and stability . no variant traits have been observed or are expected in g06 - np2593 . the best method of producing the invention , g06 - np2593 which is substantially homozygous , is by planting the seed of g06 - np2593 which is substantially homozygous and self - pollinating or sib pollinating the resultant plant in an isolated environment , and harvesting the resultant seed . the present invention shows one of the lowest pollen shed ratings of the comparison inbreds . the emergence rating for the present invention is one of the lowest . the rating scale of 9 - 1 is used for most rating data . in all instances 9 is the best rating and 1 is the lowest rating . heat units per day were calculated : hu =[ maxtemp ( 86 )= min temp ( 50 )]/ 2 − 50 . an inbred &# 39 ; s response to environment is often more pronounced than a hybrid . the data provided above is often a color . the munsell code is a reference book of color , which is known and used in the industry and by persons with ordinary skill in the art of plant breeding . table 2 shows the inbred g06 - np2593 in hybrid combination in x19596 in comparison with a number of other hybrid combinations . the other hybrid combinations shown are commercial or experimental hybrids which are adapted for similar region of the corn belt . the first hybrid and the hybrid with the present invention x19596 have a common inbred . when in this hybrid combination the present inbred g06 - np2593 carries less yield and less moisture than aa2359 / id2003 , and less stalk and root lodging than aa2359 / id2003 . the test weight for the hybrid combination containing the present invention x19596 is one of the lower of the compared hybrids . this invention also is directed to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a first parent corn plant with a second parent corn plant wherein the first or second parent corn plant is an inbred corn plant from the line g06 - np2593 . further , both first and second parent corn plants can come from the inbred corn line g06 - np2593 which produces a self of the inbred invention . the present invention can be employed in a variety of breeding methods which can be selected depending on the mode of reproduction , the trait , and the condition of the germplasm . thus , any breeding methods using the inbred corn line g06 - np2593 are part of this invention : selfing , backcrosses , hybrid production , and crosses to populations , and haploid by such old and known methods of using stock six material that induces haploids and anther culturing and the like . all plants and plant cells produced using inbred corn line g06 - np2593 are within the scope of this invention . the invention encompasses the inbred corn line used in crosses with other , different , corn inbreds to produce ( f1 ) corn hybrid seeds and hybrid plants and the grain produced on the hybrid plant . this invention includes plant and plant cells , which upon growth and differentiation produce corn plants having the physiological and morphological characteristics of the inbred line g06 - np2593 . additionally , this maize can , within the scope of the invention , contain : a mutant gene such as , but not limited to , the amylose , amylase , sugary 1 or shrunken 1 or waxy or ae or imazethapyr tolerant ( it or ir ™) mutant gene ; or transgenic genes such as but not limited to insect resistant genes such as corn rootworm gene , bacillus thuringiensis ( cry genes ), or herbicide resistant genes such as pat gene or bar gene , epsp , or disease resistant genes such as the mosaic virus resistant gene , etc ., or trait altering genes such as flowering genes , oil modifying genes , senescence genes and the like . the methods and techniques for inserting , or producing and / or identifying a mutation or a transgene into the present invention through breeding , transformation , or mutating are well known and understood by those of ordinary skill in the art . a number of different inventions exist which are designed to avoid detasseling in maize hybrid production . some examples are switchable male sterility , lethal genes in the pollen or anther , inducible male sterility , male sterility genes with chemical restorers , sterility genes linked with parent . u . s . pat . no . 6 , 025 , 546 , relates to the use of tapetum - specific promoters and the barnase gene . u . s . pat . no . 6 , 627 , 799 relates to modifying stamen cells to provide male sterility . therefore , one aspect of the current invention concerns the present invention comprising one or more gene ( s ) capable of restoring male fertility to male - sterile maize inbreds or hybrids . various techniques for breeding and moving or altering genetic material within or into the present invention ( whether it is an inbred or in hybrid combination ) are also known to those skilled in the art . these techniques to list only a few are anther culturing , haploid production , ( stock six is a method that has been in use for thirty years and is well known is to those with skill in the art ), transformation , irradiation to produce mutations , chemical or biological mutation agents and a host of other methods are within the scope of the invention . all parts of the g06 - np2593 plant including its plant cells produced using the inbred corn line is within the scope of this invention . the term transgenic plant refers to plants having genetic sequences , which are introduced into the genome of a plant by a transformation method and the progeny thereof . transformation methods are means for integrating new genetic coding sequences into the plant &# 39 ; s genome by the incorporation of these sequences into a plant through man &# 39 ; s assistance , but not by breeding practices . the transgene once introduced into plant material and integrated stably can be moved into other germplasm by standard breeding practices . though there are a large number of known methods to transform plants , certain types of plants are more amenable to transformation than are others . transformation of dicots is usually achievable for example , tobacco is a readily transformable plant . monocots can present some transformation challenges , however , the basic steps of transforming plants monocots have been known in the art for about 15 years . the most common method of maize transformation is referred to as gunning or microprojectile bombardment though other methods can be used . the process employs small gold - coated particles coated with dna which are shot into the transformable material . detailed techniques for gunning dna into cells , tissue , callus , embryos , and the like are well known in the prior art . one example of steps that can be involved in monocot transformation are concisely outlined in u . s . pat . no . 5 , 484 , 956 “ fertile transgenic zea mays plants comprising heterologous dna encoding bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin ” issued jan . 16 , 1996 and also in u . s . pat . no . 5 , 489 , 520 “ process of producing fertile zea mays plants and progeny comprising a gene encoding phosphinothricin acetyl transferase ” issued feb . 6 , 1996 . plant cells such as maize can be transformed not only by the use of a gunning device but also by a number of different techniques . some of these techniques include maize pollen transformation ( see university of toledo 1993 u . s . pat . no . 5 , 177 , 010 ); whiskers technology ( see u . s . pat . nos . 5 , 464 , 765 and 5 , 302 , 523 ); electroporation ; peg on maize ; agrobacterium ( see 1996 article on transformation of maize cells in nature biotechnology , volume 14 , june 1996 ) along with numerous other methods which may have slightly lower efficiency rates . some of these methods require specific types of cells and other methods can be practiced on any number of cell types . the use of pollen , cotyledons , zygotic embryos , meristems and ovum as the target issue can eliminate the need for extensive tissue culture work . generally , cells derived from meristematic tissue are useful . the method of transformation of meristematic cells of cereal is taught in the pct application wo96 / 04392 . any number of various cell lines , tissues , calli and plant parts can and have been transformed by those having knowledge in the art . methods of preparing callus or protoplasts from various plants are well known in the art and specific methods are detailed in patents and references used by those skilled in the art . cultures can be initiated from most of the above - identified tissue . the only true requirement of the transforming plant material is that it can form a transformed plant . the dna used for transformation of these plants clearly may be circular , linear , and double or single stranded . usually , the dna is in the form of a plasmid . the plasmid usually contains regulatory and / or targeting sequences which assists the expression of the gene in the plant . the methods of forming plasmids for transformation are known in the art . plasmid components can include such items as : leader sequences , transit polypeptides , promoters , terminators , genes , introns , marker genes , etc . the structures of the gene orientations can be sense , antisense , partial antisense , or partial sense : multiple gene copies can be used . the transgenic gene can come from various non - plant genes ( such as ; bacteria , yeast , animals , and viruses ) along with being from plants . the regulatory promoters employed can be constitutive such as camv35s ( usually for dicots ) and polyubiquitin for monocots or tissue specific promoters such as cab promoters , mr7 described in u . s . pat . no . 5 , 837 , 848 , etc . the prior art promoters , includes but is not limited to , octopine synthase , nopaline synthase , camv19s , mannopine synthase . these regulatory sequences can be combined with introns , terminators , enhancers , leader sequences and the like in the material used for transformation . the isolated dna is then transformed into the plant . after the transformation of the plant material is complete , the next step is identifying the cells or material , which has been transformed . in some cases , a screenable marker is employed such as the beta - glucuronidase gene of the uida locus of e . coli . then , the transformed cells expressing the colored protein are selected . in many cases , a selectable marker identifies the transformed material . the putatively transformed material is exposed to a toxic agent at varying concentrations . the cells not transformed with the selectable marker , which provides resistance to this toxic agent , die . cells or tissues containing the resistant selectable marker generally proliferate . it has been noted that although selectable markers protect the cells from some of the toxic affects of the herbicide or antibiotic , the cells may still be slightly affected by the toxic agent by having slower growth rates . if the transformed material was cell lines then these lines are regenerated into plants . the cells &# 39 ; lines are treated to induce tissue differentiation . methods of regeneration of cellular maize material are well known in the art . a deposit of at least 2500 seeds of this invention will be maintained by syngenta seeds inc . access to this deposit will be available during the pendency of this application to the commissioner of patents and trademarks and persons determined by the commissioner to be entitled thereto upon request . all restrictions on availability to the public of such material will be removed upon issuance of a granted patent of this application by depositing at least 2500 seeds of this invention at the american type culture collection ( atcc ), at 10801 university boulevard , manassas , va . 20110 . the date of deposit was jul . 25 , 2008 . the atcc number of the deposit is pta - 9390 and on aug . 12 , 2008 the seeds were tested and found to be viable . the deposit of at least 2500 seeds will be from inbred seed taken from the deposit maintained by syngenta seeds inc . the atcc deposit will be maintained in that depository , which is a public depository , for a period of 30 years , or 5 years after the last request , or for the enforceable life of the patent , whichever is longer , and will be replaced if it becomes nonviable during that period . additional public information on patent variety protection may be available from the pvp office , a division of the us government . accordingly , the present invention has been described with some degree of particularity directed to the preferred embodiment of the present invention . it should be appreciated , though that the present invention is defined by the following claims construed in light of the prior art so that modifications or changes may be made to the preferred embodiment of the present invention without departing from the inventive concepts contained herein .
