The present invention relates to the field of plant breeding. More specifically, the present invention includes a method of using haploid plants for genetic mapping of traits such as disease resistance. Further, the invention includes a method for breeding corn plants containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are associated with resistance to Gray Leaf Spot (GLS), a fungal disease associated with Cercospora spp. The invention further includes a method for breeding corn plants containing QTL that are associated with Goss' Wilt, a bacterial disease associated with Clavibacter michiganense spp. La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'amélioration génétique de plantes. De manière plus spécifique, cette invention porte sur un procédé d'utilisation de plantes haploïdes pour le mappage génétique de caractères tels que la résistance aux maladies et sur un procédé d'amélioration génétique de plants de maïs contenant des loci quantitatifs (QTL) qui sont associés à la résistance à la tache grise qui est une maladie fongique associée à Cercospora spp. La présente invention concerne également un procédé d'amélioration génétique de plants de maïs contenant QTL qui sont associés à la flétrissure Goss qui est une maladie bactérienne associée à Clavibacter michiganense spp.
