Abstract

A novel sweet corn hybrid plant, designated HMX59WS607 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607, to the plants and plant parts of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607, and to methods for producing a sweet corn plant by crossing the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 with itself or another sweet corn plant.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seed of sweet corn hybrid designated HMX59WS607, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid has been deposited under NCIMB No. 43497.

2. A sweet corn plant, a plant part thereof, or a plant cell thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 1 , wherein a sweet corn plant regenerated from said plant part or plant cell has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

3. The sweet corn plant part, or a plant cell thereof of claim 2 , wherein the sweet corn part is selected from the group consisting of a leaf, a flower, an ear, a cell, a rootstock, and a scion.

4. A sweet corn plant or a plant part, or a plant cell thereof having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid has been deposited under NCIMB No. 43497.

5. A tissue culture of regenerable cells produced from the plant or plant part of claim 2 , wherein a plant regenerated from the tissue culture has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 listed in Table 1 when grown in the same environmental conditions.

6. A sweet corn plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 5 , said plant having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seed of said hybrid has been deposited under NCIMB No. 43497.

7. A sweet corn ear produced from the plant of claim 2 .

8. A method for harvesting a sweet corn ear, the method comprising: (a) growing the sweet corn plant of claim 2 to produce a sweet corn ear, and (b) harvesting said sweet corn ear.

9. A sweet corn ear produced by the method of claim 8 .

10. A method for producing a sweet corn seed, the method comprising crossing a first parent sweet corn plant with a second parent sweet corn plant and harvesting the resultant sweet corn seed, wherein said first parent sweet corn plant and/or second parent sweet corn plant is the sweet corn plant of claim 2 .

11. A method for producing a sweet corn seed, the method comprising self-pollinating the sweet corn plant of claim 2 and harvesting the resultant sweet corn seed.

12. A method of vegetatively propagating the sweet corn plant of claim 2 , the method comprising: (a) collecting part of a plant of claim 2 and (b) regenerating a plant from said part.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising harvesting an ear from said plant.

14. A plant obtained from the method of claim 13 , wherein said plant has all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

15. An ear obtained from the method of claim 13 , wherein plants grown from the kernels of the ear exhibit all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 listed in Table 1.

16. A method of producing a sweet corn plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607, the method comprising: (a) self-pollinating the plant of claim 2 at least once to produce a progeny plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising the steps of:
(b) crossing the progeny plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 with itself or a second corn plant to produce a seed of progeny plant of subsequent generation;
(c) growing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation from the seed;
(d) crossing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation with itself or the second sweet corn plant to produce a sweet corn plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607; and
(e) repeating step (b) and/or (c) for at least one generation to produce a sweet corn plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607.

18. A method of producing a sweet corn plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607, the method comprising: (a) crossing the plant of claim 2 with a second corn plant to produce a progeny plant.

19. The method of claim 18 further comprising the steps of:
(b) crossing the progeny plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 with itself or a second corn plant to produce a seed of progeny plant of subsequent generation;
(c) growing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation from the seed;
(d) crossing the progeny plant of the subsequent generation with itself or the second sweet corn plant to produce a sweet corn plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607; and
(e) repeating step (b) and/or (c) to produce a sweet corn plant derived from the sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607.

20. The plant of claim 2 , wherein said plant further comprises at least one single locus conversion and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sweet corn hybrid HMX59WS607 listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

21. The plant of claim 20 , wherein the single locus conversion confers said plant with herbicide resistance.

22. The plant of claim 20 , wherein the single locus conversion is an artificially mutated gene or nucleotide sequence.

23. The plant of claim 20 , wherein the single locus conversion is a gene that has been modified through the use of a New Breeding Technique.

24. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant of claim 2 , or a plant part, or a plant cell thereof.

25. A method for producing a second sweet corn plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 2 to produce the second sweet corn plant.

26. A method for producing a transgenic sweet corn plant, the method comprising crossing the sweet corn plant of claim 2 with a second corn plant containing a transgene, wherein the transgene of said second corn plant is integrated into the genome of the sweet corn plant progeny resulting from said cross.

27. The plant of claim 2 , wherein said plant further comprises a transgene.
