Abstract:
1. A process of introducing a desired trait into maize inbred line PHCEG comprising: (a) crossing PHCEG plants grown from PHCEG seed, representative seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-7032, with plants of another maize line that comprise a desired trait to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of waxy starch, male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, bacterial disease resistance, fungal disease resistance, and viral disease resistance; (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected F1 progeny plants; (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the PHCEG plants to produce backcross progeny plants; (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and the alleles of inbred line PHCEG at the SSR loci listed in Table 2 to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) to produce backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and comprise at least 95% of the alleles of inbred line PHCEG at the SSR loci listed in Table 2.
