According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated CV399035. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CV399035, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CV399035 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to corn seeds and plants produced by crossing plants of variety CV399035 with plants of another variety, such as another inbred line. The invention further relates to the inbred and hybrid genetic complements of plants of variety CV399035.

Exemplary methods for use in identifying crosses for use in plant breeding are disclosed. One exemplary method includes selecting a subgroup of potential crosses, based on thresholds associated with population prediction scores for the set of potential crosses. The exemplary method further includes selecting multiple target crosses from the subgroup of potential crosses based on a genetic relatedness of the parents in the subgroup of potential crosses, filtering the target crosses based on a rule (or rules) defining a threshold (or thresholds) for at least one characteristic and/or trait, selecting ones of the filtered target crosses based on risk associated with the selected one of the filtered target crosses, and directing the selected ones of the filtered target crosses into a breeding pipeline, thereby providing crosses to the breeding pipeline based, at least in part, on commercial success of parents included in the selected ones of the filtered crosses.

Methods for improving the efficiency and productivity of hybrid corn seed production are provided herein. Various methods to improve the transfer of pollen from male corn plants to female corn plants, and thus increase yield, are provided herein. Without being limiting, these methods include varying the height of male and female corn plants in a field, as well as varying the number, arrangement, and ratio of male-to-female rows in a field.

The present disclosure is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. The disclosure provides methods for breeding corn plants having late wilt (LW) resistance using marker-assisted selection. The disclosure further provides corn germplasm resistant to LW. The disclosure also provides markers associated with LW resistance loci for introgressing these loci into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel LW resistant germplasm.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a Disease resistant soybean plant or germplasm using markers, genes and chromosomal intervals derived from Glycine tomentella PI441001, PI441008, PI446958, PI509501, PI583970, PI499939 or PI483224. A soybean plant or germplasm that has been identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided. Disease resistant soybean seeds, plants and germplasms are also provided.

A cytoplasmic male sterile Brassica rapa plant is provided having a growth ability equivalent to that of a Brassica rapa plant having a normal cytoplasm or a progeny of the cytoplasmic male sterile Brassica rapa plant. For example, it is possible to improve the deterioration of growth ability which has been observed in the conventional cytoplasmic male sterile B. rapa plants and provide a cytoplasmic male sterile Brassica rapa plant having an improved growth ability.

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH011010. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH011010, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH011010 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH011010.

The invention provides seed and plants of melon hybrid SVMF7051 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SVMF7051 and the parent lines thereof and to methods for producing a melon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another melon plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SVMF7051 and melon line CAN-DV16-4378MO comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH011205. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH011205, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH011205 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH011205.

The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 01091723. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 01091723. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 01091723 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 01091723 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.
