  • Markers linked to reniform nematode resistance
    Patent number: 11136630
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns methods and compositions for identifying cotton plants that have a reniform nematode resistance trait. Some embodiments concern molecular markers to identify, select, and/or construct reniform nematode resistant plants and germplasm, or to identify and counter-select relatively susceptible plants. This disclosure also concerns cotton plants comprising a reniform nematode resistance trait that are generated by methods utilizing at least one marker described herein.
    Type: Grant

  • MAIZE LINKAGE DRAG AND GENOME ANALYSIS PROCESS
    Publication number: 20140212877
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for improving a maize linkage drag and genome analysis process. Some embodiments produce a significant cost and time reduction in plant breeding projects. Particular embodiments concern a method to determine one amount of linkage drag flanking a desired, introgressed trait and to determine a recurrent parent percentage performed at a same stage of plant growth. This disclosure also concerns selecting plants containing the desired, introgressed trait based on results of genome analysis.
