  • Patent number: 10945391
    Abstract: Methods for introgressing an allele of interest of a locus associated with a yield trait into Zea mays germplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include providing a Zea mays plant that contains an allele of interest of a locus associated with a yield trait, wherein the locus associated with the yield trait is identifiable by PCR amplification of a Zea mays nucleic acid with a pair of oligonucleotides primers as disclosed herein, and introgressing the allele of interest into Zea mays germplasm that lacks the allele. Also provided are methods for identifying Zea mays plants that contain at least one allele associated with improved yield, improved maize plants, elite Zea mays plants, biomass produced from improved Zea mays plants, isolated and purified genetic markers, and compositions that include an amplification primer pair capable of amplifying a Zea mays nucleic acid to generate a Zea mays marker amplicon.

  • Patent number: 8170805
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for evaluating associations between candidate genes and a trait of interest in a population. The methods include a combination of genome-wide association analysis and one or more of nested association mapping (NAM), expression QTL analysis (eQTL), and allele epistastic analysis (AEA). Markers are selected or prioritized if they are shown to be positively-correlated with a trait of interest using GWA and a combination of one or both of NAM and eQTL. Also provided are models for evaluating the association between a candidate marker and a trait in a nested population of organisms. These methods include single marker regression and multiple marker regression models. Markers identified using the methods of the invention can be used in marker assisted breeding and selection, as genetic markers for constructing linkage maps, for gene discovery, for identifying genes contributing to a trait of interest, and for generating transgenic organisms having a desired trait.

  • Publication number: 20110296753
    Abstract: Methods for predicting unobserved phenotypes are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include (a) determining marker effects for a plurality of markers in a genotyped and phenotyped reference population with respect to a phenotype, wherein the reference population includes an F2 generation, an F3 generation, or a subsequent generation; (b) genotyping one or more plants of a predicted population with respect to the plurality of markers, wherein each of the one or more plants of the predicted population is a descendant of two parents and each parent has at least 80% genetic identity to at least one of the two parental plants employed to generate the reference population; (c) summing the marker effects determined in step (a) for each of the one or more plants of the predicted population based on the genotyping of step (b); and (d) predicting a phenotype of the one or more plants of the predicted population based on the sum of the marker effects from step (c).
