  • Genetic loci associated with resistance to tropical rust in maize
    Patent number: 8809623
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying maize plants that have increased or decreased resistance to tropical rust. The methods use molecular markers to identify and select plants with increased resistance to tropical rust or to identify and counter-select plants with decreased resistance to tropical rust. Maize plants generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention. Also of interest are methods used to correlate allelic variation with a trait of interest.
