Estimating the term…
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.
Corn seed comprising a first MP305 derived chromosomal interval defined by BNLG2162 and UMC1051, and not comprising a second MP305 derived chromosomal interval above BNLG2162 or below UMC1051.
Corn seed comprising a first MP305 derived chromosomal interval between, but not including, MZA15842 and UMC15a, and not comprising a second MP305 derived chromosomal interval at or above MZA15842 or at or below UMC15a.
Seed of a corn variety designated DE811ASR(BC5), or a progeny seed derived therefrom that comprises the Rcg1 gene, that when grown, produces a plant that exhibits enhanced or newly conferred resistance to Colletotrichum infection.
