  • Maize Polymorphisms and Methods of Genotyping
    Publication number: 20110008793
    Abstract: Polymorphic maize DNA loci useful for genotyping between at least two varieties of maize. Sequences of the loci are useful for designing primers and probe oligonucleotides for detecting polymorphisms in maize DNA. Polymorphisms are useful for genotyping applications in maize. The polymorphic markers are useful to establish marker/trait associations, e.g. in linkage disequilibrium mapping and association studies, positional cloning and transgenic applications, marker-aided breeding and marker-assisted selection, hybrid prediction and identity by descent studies. The polymorphic markers are also useful in mapping libraries of DNA clones, e.g. for maize QTLs and genes linked to polymorphisms.

  • Maize genomic marker set
    Publication number: 20070039065
    Abstract: Maize markers useful for genotyping and association studies, e.g. association with oil content QTLs in populations derived from the Illinois High Oil and Illinois Low Oil maize lines. Primers and hybridization probes for Taqman™ assays are provided for 488 SNP markers in 484 loci.

  • Nucleic acid molecules associated with oil in plants
    Publication number: 20070039069
    Abstract: Polynucleotides that encode proteins associated with oil content in plants are useful in constructs to make transgenic plants, e.g., maize or soybean, with desirable oil content phenotype and progeny of any generation derived from the fertile transgenic plants. Markers associated with oil content QTL are useful in breeding for plants with desired oil content.
