Abstract
Markers associated with increased dicamba tolerance in soybeans are provided herein. Also provided are methods to identify plants having said markers and breeding methods to introduce said markers into other soybean plants, as well as methods for producing soybean plants having increased dicamba tolerance.
Claims20
A method of producing a soybean plant having at least one allele associated with dicamba tolerance, the method comprising:
- providing a first soybean plant comprising at least one molecular marker associated with dicamba tolerance;
- providing a second soybean plant;
- crossing the first soybean plant with the second soybean plant to produce a population of soybean progeny plants;
- and
- selecting from said population of soybean progeny plants a soybean plant having at least one allele associated with dicamba tolerance.
A method of identifying and/or selecting a soybean plant having at least one allele associated with dicamba tolerance, the method comprising:
- a. isolating a nucleic acid from a soybean plant;
- b. detecting in the nucleic acid the presence of at least one molecular marker associated with dicamba tolerance;
- and
- c. identifying and/or selecting a soybean plant based on the presence of at least one molecular marker associated with dicamba tolerance.
A method of identifying and/or selecting a soybean plant having increased tolerance to dicamba, the method comprising:
- a. screening a population of soybean plants with a molecular marker to determine if one or more soybean plants from the population comprises at least one allele associated with dicamba tolerance;
- and
- b. selecting and/or identifying from said population at least one soybean plant comprising the at least one allele associated with dicamba tolerance.
