Claim:
1. A method of breeding a transgenic corn plant comprising the steps of: providing at least two transgenic corn plants, each corn plant having at least one transgene inserted into its genome; determining a map location of the at least one transgene in the genome of the at least two transgenic corn plants using at least one DNA marker in the genomic region flanking the transgene insert; and selecting at least one of the transgenic corn plants for breeding, wherein the at least one transgenic corn plant that is selected has in its genome the at least one transgene that is genetically linked to haplotype C8W4H5; and crossing the selected at least one transgenic corn plants with a second corn plant to produce one or more progeny plants comprising the at least one transgene linked to haplotype C8W4H5; and wherein the at least one transgene and the haplotype are linked at a genetic distance of 0 to within about 5 cM.
