ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method for transferring Tripsacum nuclear and cytoplasmic genes into maize. The method is via a hybrid plant designated Tripsacorn (proposed botanical classification Zea indiana), produced by crossing two wild relatives of corn, Tripsacura and diploid perennial teosinte (Zea diploperennis). This invention thus relates to the hybrid seed, the hybrid plant produced by the seed and/or tissue culture, variants, routants, and modifications of Tripsacorn and the hybrid seed, the hybrid plant produced by the seed and/or tissue culture, variants, mutants, and modifications of (maize X Tripsacorn) and/or (Tripsacorn X maize). In particular this invention is directed to the ability to confer rootworm resistance, resistance to insect pests, resistance to diseases, drought tolerance, and improved standability to maize via Tripsacorn.
