  • POLYNUCLEOTIDES AND METHODS FOR MAKING PLANTS RESISTANT TO FUNGAL PATHOGENS
    Publication number: 20180112280
    Abstract: This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, which causes anthracnose stalk rot, leaf blight and top dieback in corn and other cereals. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, and processes of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently introgress the gene from corn lines carrying said gene into other corn lines that do not carry said gene, in order to make them resistant to Colletotrichum and resistant to stalk rot.

  • Genetic loci associated with mechanical stalk strength in maize
    Patent number: 9228241
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying and for selecting maize plants with mechanical stalk strength characteristics. The methods use molecular markers to identify and select plants with increased mechanical stalk strength or to identify and counter-select plants with decreased mechanical stalk strength. Maize plants generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

  • 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.
