Abstract
A synthetic hybrid corn plant having the designation P129-wx, produced by crossing two proprietary Optimum Quality Grain, L.L.C. maize synthetics, P129A-wx-Reid and P129B-wx-Lancaster. P129-wx has the unique property of imparting high oil levels in the grain of certain normal and male sterile hybrids when used as a pollinator. P129-wx is characterized by excellent cold tolerant seedling vigor for rapid emergence in cold soils and excellent early-season adaptability facilitating nicking with early maize hybrids to condition fast dry-down and superior grain quality in the grain arising from the recipient female grain parent. This invention thus relates to the seeds, plants and plant parts of P129-wx, to plants regenerated from tissue culture of the plants or plant parts of P129-wx, to a method of producing P129-wx, and to methods for producing grain or silage using P129-wx as a pollinator.
