1. A method of obtaining a corn plant with enhanced Fusarium stalk rot resistance, said method comprising:

  • a) providing a population of corn plants;

    b) obtaining a DNA sample from at least one corn plant within said population;

    c) detecting in said DNA sample the presence of a Fusarium stalk rot resistance allele at a polymorphic locus within 5 cM of SEQ ID NO;

    93, wherein said locus comprises a nucleotide at position 151 of SEQ ID NO;

    93 that is associated with Fusarium stalk rot resistance, and wherein said nucleotide is an “

    A”

    ;

    d) selecting a corn plant from said population of corn plants based on the presence of the Fusarium stalk rot resistance allele;

    e) crossing the plant comprising the Fusarium stalk rot resistance allele with a second, different corn plant to produce progeny plants wherein at least one progeny plant comprises the Fusarium stalk rot resistance allele and exhibits enhanced Fusarium stalk rot resistance when compared to a plant lacking said allele.
