Estimating the term…
Soybean plants, germplasm, and seed comprising a mutant acetolactate synthase gene conferring improved herbicide tolerance, molecular markers useful for identifying and, optionally, selecting soybean plants displaying tolerance, improved tolerance, or susceptibility to a herbicide, and methods of their use are provided. Also provided are isolated polynucleotides, probes, kits, systems, and the like, useful for carrying out the methods described herein.
A method of identifying a soybean plant, germplasm or seed comprising an endogenous polynucleotide encoding a mutant acetolactate synthase gene in its genome, said method comprising isolating nucleic acids from said plant, germplasm or seed, and detecting at least one allele of one or more marker locus that is associated with herbicide resistance, wherein the one or more marker locus is selected from the group consisting of:
A kit for characterizing at least one soybean plant, germplasm or seed, the kit comprising:
An isolated polynucleotide capable of detecting a marker locus selected from the group consisting of:
