Estimating the term…
This invention relates to methods of improving resistance to aphids in soybean plants, as well as methods for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or germplasm that display improved resistance to one or more biotypes of soybean aphid. In certain examples, the method comprises selecting a first and second soybean plant or germplasm, each of which has a different favorable Rag1, Rag2, or Rag3, allele, haplotype, or marker profile, and crossing those first and second soybean plants to produce a progeny plant with improved soybean aphid resistance. This invention further relates to markers, primers, probes, kits, systems, etc., useful for carrying out the methods described herein.
A method of improving resistance to one or more soybean aphid biotypes in a soybean plant, line, or strain, the improved resistance comprising one or more of improved antibiosis resistance and improved antixenosis resistance;
A method of selecting a soybean plant or germplasm that displays improved resistance to one or more soybean aphid biotypes, the improved resistance comprising one or more of improved antibiosis resistance and improved antixenosis resistance, the method comprising:
A kit for selecting a soybean plant or germplasm that displays improved resistance to one or more soybean aphid biotypes;
An isolated polynucleotide capable of detecting:
