An inbred maize line, designated PH4CV, the plants and seeds of inbred maize line PH4CV, methods for producing a maize plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred maize line PH4CV with another maize plant, and hybrid maize seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PH4CV with another maize line or plant and to methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic maize plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PH4CV, to methods for producing other inbred maize lines derived from inbred maize line PH4CV and to the inbred maize lines derived by the use of those methods.

302 Insect resistant plant which is transgenic or mutant:
This subclass is indented under subclass 298. Subject matter wherein the higher plant, seedling, plant seed, or plant part is insect resistant and has been made via a transgenic method or a mutation step.
(1) Note. Transgenic means that new genetic information has become embedded into the germ line of the plant. A mutant plant is one wherein a change in the structure of the genetic material (i.e., the DNA base sequence) of the plant has occurred. Mutations result in heritable alterations in the genotype of the plant.
