Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a soybean plant or germplasm having resistance Phakosora pachyrhizi. A soybean plant, part thereof and/or germplasm that has been identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided. Also provided are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with resistance to pathogens; and compositions including amplification primer pairs capable of initiating DNA polymerization by a DNA polymerase on soybean nucleic acid templates to generate soybean marker amplicons.
Claims10
A method of identifying a ASR tolerant soybean plant or part thereof, comprising the steps of:
- a. isolating a nucleic acid from a soybean plant or part thereof;
- b. detecting in said nucleic acid, the presence of a marker associated with ASR tolerance in a soybean plant, wherein said marker is located within a chromosomal interval on soybean chromosome 18 corresponding to physical positions 58,722,971-60,910,083;
- and
- c. thereby identifying a ASR tolerant soybean plant or part thereof.
An elite soybean plant having introgressed into its genome a chromosomal interval comprising a favorable allele corresponding to an A at position 428 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and an A at position 806 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
A soybean germplasm having its genome modified to comprise a modification on soybean chromosome 18 wherein the modification corresponds to an A at position 428 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and an A at position 806 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 wherein said germplasm would not otherwise comprise said modification.
