  • METHODS FOR PRODUCING CORN PLANTS WITH DOWNY MILDEW RESISTANCE AND COMPOSITIONS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230135707
    Abstract: The present disclosure is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. The disclosure provides methods for breeding corn plants having downy mildew (DM) resistance using marker-assisted selection. The disclosure further provides corn germplasm resistant to DM. The disclosure also provides markers associated with DM resistance loci for introgressing these loci into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel DM resistant germplasm.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 26, 2022
    Publication date: May 4, 2023
    Applicant: Monsanto Technology LLC
    Inventors: Jorgen Costes ABELLERA, Romain Fouquet, Vincent Lombard, Yule Pan, Jean Jose Somera, Xianghai Ye

  • Maize plants with improved disease resistance
    Patent number: 10356992
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes a method for breeding corn plants containing one or more markers that are associated with resistance to bacteria. The invention further includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing at least one marker associated with resistance to Bacterial Stalk Rot (BSR) infection for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel BSR resistant germplasm.
