  • Apparatus and method for sorting plant material
    Patent number: 9156064
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for sorting plant material based on the presence or absence of a visual marker on the plant material. The visible marker may be a visible genetic color marker in the corn seed which is used in double haploid breeding. The absence or presence of the visible marker identifies correctly pollinated seeds as well as putative haploid seeds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 13, 2015
    Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLC
    Inventors: Klaus L. Koehler, Gary Tragesser, Mark Swanson

  • GENETIC LOCI ASSOCIATED WITH FUSARIUM EAR ROT (FKR) RESISTANCE IN MAIZE AND GENERATION OF IMPROVED FKR RESISTANT MAIZE INBRED LINES
    Publication number: 20100269212
    Abstract: Methods of genetic marker assisted selection of Fusarium Ear Rot resistance in maize plants include isolating DNA from the maize plant. The DNA is then assessed to identify plants having one or more of the SSR genetic markers selected from the group consisting of phi333597, umc2013, umc1350, dup013, umc1665, and umc1412. Plants having the Fusarium Ear Rot resistance are then selected. Methods of identifying a first maize plant or germplasm that displays improved resistance to FKR include detecting in the first maize plant or germplasm at least one allele of one or more genetic markers associated with the FKR resistance selected from the group consisting of phi333597, umc2013, umc1350, dup013, umc1665, and umc1412.
