Abstract
A synthetic hybrid corn plant having the designation LP41, produced by crossing two proprietary Pfister Hybrid Corn Company maize synthetics, LP41A-Reid and LP41B-Lancaster. LP41 has the unique property of imparting high oil and high protein levels in the grain of certain normal and male sterile hybrids when used as a pollinator. LP41 is characterized by excellent cold tolerant seedling vigor for rapid emergence in cold soils, and excellent early-season adaptability to nick with early maize hybrids that condition fast dry-down and superior grain quality in the recipient female grain parent. This invention thus relates to the synthetic hybrid plants and seeds of LP41, i.e., the synthetic hybrid produced by crossing the two aforementioned parental synthetics and the seed thereof, including advanced generation seed, variants, mutants, and modifications of LP41.
