Methods for delayed harvesting of corn fields are provided herein. These methods provide an extended, flexible period of time to harvest corn. The methods allow growers to harvest their corn at the optimal time for drying down or accessing seed, without increasing the risk of losing yield to lodging.

Delayed harvest of short stature corn plants

Disclosed herein are plants exhibiting a semi-dwarf phenotype with reduced plant height compared to control wildtype plants. Some of the disclosed semi-dwarf plants comprise at least one non-natural brachytic mutation in which the activity of a BR2 gene is reduced. Also disclosed are methods for producing a semi-dwarf corn plant using a CRISPR based genome editing system.

Genome editing-based crop engineering and production of brachytic plants

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated CV929946. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CV929946, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CV929946 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 CV929946 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 CV929946.

Plants and seeds of corn variety CV929946

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated CV925302. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CV925302, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CV925302 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 CV925302 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 CV925302.
