Abstract:
1. A method of creating a population of corn plants comprising at least one allele associated with Gray Leaf Spot (GLS) resistance comprising SEQ ID NO: 157, 167, or 389, the method comprising the steps of: a) genotyping a first population of corn plants, said population containing at least one allele associated with Gray Leaf Spot resistance, the at least one allele associated with Gray Leaf Spot resistance comprising SEQ ID NO: 157, 167, or 389; b) selecting from said first population of corn plants one or more identified corn plants containing said at least one allele associated with Gray Leaf Spot resistance comprising SEQ ID NO: 157, 167, or 389; and c) producing from said selected corn plants a second population of corn plants, thereby creating a population of corn plants comprising at least one allele associated with Gray Leaf Spot resistance comprising SEQ ID NO: 157, 167, or 389.
