Compositions and methods useful in identifying and/or selecting maize plants having resistance to northern leaf blight are provided herein. The resistance may be newly conferred or enhanced relative to a control plant. The methods use markers to identify, select and/or construct resistant plants. Maize plants identified, selected, and/or generated by the methods described herein are also provided.

Compositions and methods for identifying and selecting maize plants with resistance to northern leaf blight

Compositions and methods useful in identifying and/or selecting maize plants that have anthracnose stalk rot resistance are provided herein. The resistance may be newly conferred or enhanced relative to a control plant. The methods use markers to identify, select and/or construct resistant plants. Maize plants generated by the methods also provided.

Compositions and methods for selecting maize plants with resistance to anthracnose stalk rot

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying maize plants that have newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to, or are susceptible to, a, particularly Mal de R&#xed;o Cuarto Virus (MRCV) and/or Maize Rough Dwarf Virus (MRDV). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct resistant plants or identify and counter-select susceptible plants. Maize plants that display newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to athat are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

Major QTLS conferring resistance of corn to fijivirus

A novel maize variety designated PH19V8 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing maize variety PH19V8 with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH19V8 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid maize seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the variety PH19V8 or a locus conversion of PH19V8 with another maize variety.

Maize inbred PH19V8

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying and/or selecting maize plants that have newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to, or are susceptible to, a Fijivirus, particularly Mal de Rio Cuarto Virus (MRCV) and/or Maize Rough Dwarf Virus (MRDV). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select, and/or construct resistant plants or to identify and counter-select susceptible plants. Maize plants that display newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to a Fijivirus (or an infection or disease caused by the virus) that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

Genetic loci associated with resistance of corn to fijivirus

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying maize plants that have newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to, or are susceptible to, a Fijivirus, particularly Mal de R&#xed;o Cuarto Virus (MRCV) and/or Maize Rough Dwarf Virus (MRDV). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct resistant plants or identify and counter-select susceptible plants. Maize plants that display newly conferred resistance or enhanced resistance to a Fijivirus that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.
