Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying and for selecting maize plants with mechanical stalk strength characteristics. The methods use molecular markers to identify and select plants with increased mechanical stalk strength or to identify and counter-select plants with decreased mechanical stalk strength. Maize plants generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.
