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 Fusarium stalk rot (FSR) infection for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel FSR resistant germplasm.

The disclosure relates to a cotton variety, designated PX3122B-51WRF, the plants and seeds of the cotton variety PX3122B-51WRF, methods for producing a cotton plant, either varietal or hybrid, produced by crossing the cotton variety PX3122B-51WRF with itself or with another cotton plant, hybrid cotton seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety PX3122B-51WRF with another cotton variety or plan, methods for producing a cotton plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes, and the transgenic cotton plants produced by that method. This disclosure also relates to cotton varieties derived from cotton variety PX3122B-51WRF, to methods for producing other cotton varieties derived from cotton variety PX3122B-51WRF, and to the varieties derived by the use of those methods.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. Compositions include a novel nucleotide sequence for regulatory elements from Lamium Leaf Distortion Associated Virus. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the regulatory element sequences disclosed herein is provided. The method comprises transforming a plant or plant cell with a nucleotide sequence operably linked to one of the regulatory elements of the present disclosure.
