Abstract

A novel maize variety designated PH252W and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing maize variety PH252W with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH252W through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid maize seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the variety PH252W or a locus conversion of PH252W with another maize variety.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of inbred maize variety PH252W, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-122692.

2. The plant part of claim 1 , wherein the plant part is an ovule or pollen.

3. An F1 maize seed produced by crossing the plant or plant part of claim 1 with a different maize plant.

4. A maize plant produced by growing the maize seed of claim 3 .

5. A method for producing a second maize plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 4 to produce the second maize plant.

6. A method for producing a second maize plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from a cross of the plant or plant part of claim 4 with an inducer variety, thereby producing the second maize plant or plant part.

7. A method of making a commodity plant product comprising silage, starch, fat, syrup or protein, the method comprising producing the commodity plant product from the maize plant or plant part of claim 4 .

8. A method of producing a maize plant derived from the variety PH252W, comprising:
a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second plant to produce progeny seed;
b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed; and
c) repeating step (b) for at least one additional generation to produce a maize plant derived from the variety PH252W.

9. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 1 .

10. A converted seed, plant, plant part or plant cell of inbred maize variety PH252W, representative seed of the maize variety PH252W havingbeen deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-122692, wherein the converted seed, plant, plant part or plant cell comprises a locus conversion, and wherein the plant or a plant grown from the converted seed, plant part or plant cell comprises the locus conversion and otherwise has essentially the same morphological and physiological characteristics of maize variety PH252W listed in Table 1 when grown under the same environmental conditions.

11. The converted seed, plant, plant part or plant cell of claim 10 , wherein the locus conversion confers a property selected from the group consisting of male sterility, site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphorus, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance and disease resistance.

12. An F1 maize seed produced by crossing the plant or plant part of claim 10 with a different maize plant.

13. A maize plant produced by growing the seed of claim 12 .

14. A method for producing a second maize plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 13 to produce the second maize plant.

15. A method for producing a second maize plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from a cross of the plant or plant part of claim 13 with an inducer variety, thereby producing the second maize plant or plant part.

16. A method of making a commodity plant product comprising silage, starch, fat, syrup or protein, the method comprising producing the commodity plant product from the maize plant or plant part of claim 13 .

17. A method of producing a maize plant derived from the variety PH252W, comprising:
a) crossing the plant of claim 10 with itself or a second plant to produce progeny seed;
b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed; and
c) repeating step (b) for at least one additional generation to produce a maize plant derived from the variety PH252W.

18. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed, plant, plant part, or plant cell of claim 10 .

19. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed of claim 3 .

20. A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the seed of claim 12 .
