  • Major QTLS Conferring Resistance Of Corn To Fijivirus
    Publication number: 20100325750
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying maize plants that have newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to, or are susceptible to, a Fijivirus, particularly Mal de Río Cuarto Virus (MRCV) and/or Maize Rough Dwarf Virus (MRDV). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct resistant plants or identify and counter-select susceptible plants. Maize plants that display newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to a Fijivirus that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

  • PLANTS WITH ALTERED ROOT ARCHITECTURE, RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENES ENCODING NUCLEOSIDE DIPHOSPHATASE KINASE (NDK) POLYPEPTIDES AND HOMOLOGS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20090064373
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides and recombinant DNA constructs particularly useful for altering root structure of plants, compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs, and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA construct comprises a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide useful for altering plant root architecture.
