The field is related to plant breeding and methods of identifying and selecting plants with resistance to anthracnose stalk rot. Provided are methods to identify novel genes that encode proteins providing plant resistance to anthracnose stalk rot and uses thereof. These disease resistant genes are useful in the production of resistant plants through breeding, transgenic modification, or genome editing.

Methods of identifying, selecting, and producing anthracnose stalk rot resistant crops

Compositions and methods useful in identifying and selecting maize plants with increased resistance to gray leaf spot are provided herein. The methods use molecular genetic markers within a QTL region located on chromosome 4 to identify and select plants with increased resistance to gray leaf spot, and plants comprising the QTL allele associated with increased resistance to gray leaf spot can be crossed to other maize plants to incorporate the increased resistance into other maize lines or varieties.

Methods of making gray leaf spot resistant maize

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

This disclosure relates to methods of identifying and/or selecting wheat plants or germplasm by detecting markers associated with flowering date, anther-extrusion, heading date and/orhead blight resistance.
