US Patent:

20100269212, Oct 21, 2010

Filed:

Apr 7, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/755619

Inventors:

Nathan J. VanOpdorp - Geneseo IL, US
Klaus L. Koehler - West Lafayette IN, US

International Classification:

A01H 1/02
A01H 1/04
C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

800265, 435 6

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.

Abstract:

This invention relates in part to plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. This invention includes a novel aad-1 transformation event in corn plants comprising a polynucleotide sequence, as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a corn cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (of corn grain, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the corn genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided. The subject invention also includes related methods of controlling weeds.
