Abstract
Methods for introgressing an allele of interest of a locus associated with a yield trait intogermplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include providing aplant that contains an allele of interest of a locus associated with a yield trait, wherein the locus associated with the yield trait is identifiable by PCR amplification of anucleic acid with a pair of oligonucleotides primers as disclosed herein, and introgressing the allele of interest intogermplasm that lacks the allele. Also provided are methods for identifyingplants that contain at least one allele associated with improved yield, improved maize plants, eliteplants, biomass produced from improvedplants, isolated and purified genetic markers, and compositions that include an amplification primer pair capable of amplifying anucleic acid to generate amarker amplicon.
