  • GENETIC LOCI ASSOCIATED WITH MECHANICAL STALK STRENGTH IN MAIZE
    Publication number: 20100015623
    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.

  • DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS AND RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENES ENCODING FERROCHELATASES
    Publication number: 20090158458
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides and recombinant DNA constructs useful for conferring drought tolerance, 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 that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a ferrochelatase.
