Abstract
This invention provides means for identifying maize plants having resistance to the European corn borer (ECB). Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) marker probes which are genetically linked to loci which condition ECB resistance are provided. These probes are useful in breeding programs to identify ECB resistant gene types and thus allow the resistance traits to be introduced into non-resistant or less resistant corn varieties.
