Abstract
The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes a method for breeding corn plants containing one or more markers that are associated with resistance to fungi. The invention further includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing at least one marker associated with resistance to southern rust (SR) infection for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel SR resistant germplasm.
