Abstract
This invention relates to methods for identifying maize plants that having increased green snap tolerance. The methods use molecular markers to identify and to select plants with increased green snap tolerance. Maize plants generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.
Claims8
A method for selecting a plant having an altered green snap tolerance characteristic, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) detecting at least one marker nucleic acid;
- and, b) selecting a plant comprising the marker nucleic acid, thereby selecting a plant having the altered green snap characteristic.
A method for selecting a maize plant having increased green snap tolerance, the method comprising:
- a) detecting at least one marker nucleic acid, wherein at least one marker nucleic acid is selected from PZE-102041193, chr2_23315995, PZE-102043574, PZE-102043924, PZE-102045178, PZE-102045518, and PZE-102048084;
- and,
- b) selecting a plant comprising the one marker nucleic acid, thereby selecting a maize plant having increased green snap tolerance.
