ABSTRACT:
A hybrid tetraploid corn seed and a process for its production are disclosed. Upon growth, the hybrid tetraploid corn seed yields a hybrid tetraploid corn plant, which exhibits superior biomass yield when compared to hybrid diploid corn plants. The hybrid seed is produced by crossing a first inbred line of tetraploid corn with a non-identical second inbred line of tetraploid corn to form at least one hybrid tetraploid seed.
