| 1. A hybrid corn seed having a male parent and a female parent, wherein the male and female parents each comprise a diploid
genome having a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable genetic loci with a pair of alleles at
each locus, each parent further being homozygous with respect to each allele pair;
the hybrid corn seed also comprising a diploid genome having a plurality of paired chromosomes comprising a plurality of mappable
genetic loci with a pair of alleles at each locus, one of the alleles being contributed by the male parent and the other being
contributed by the female parent, wherein one of the parents is a plant of the corn variety I294213, a sample of the seed
of said corn variety I294213 having been deposited under ATCC Accession PTA-7859, and wherein the other parent is a plant
of a different variety;
whereby one allele at each locus in the hybrid genome consists essentially of the allele found at the same locus in corn variety
I294213, and further whereby the other allele in a plurality of such loci in the hybrid genome is different from the allele
found at the same locus in corn variety I294213.
