Compositions and methods for producing pea plants with enhanced yield, height, and/or lodging phenotype

A method of producing a population of pea plants or seeds with a desirable yield, height, and/or lodging phenotype, said method comprising:

• (a) genotyping a first population of pea plants or seeds for the presence of at least one yield, height, and/or lodging molecular marker that is within 20 centimorgans of one or more yield, height, and/or lodging Quantitative Trait Locus (QTLs) selected from the group consisting of yield chr2-2 (Ps02_417306163), yield chr5-1 (Ps05_117545329), yield chr5-2 (Ps05_604790207), lodging chr2-1 (Ps02_415727951), lodging chr5-1 (Ps05_608256598), lodging chr6-1 (Ps06_5054240), height chr2-2 (Ps2_390480167), height chr3-1 (Ps03_74158043), height chr3-2 (Ps03_496270063), height chr4-1 (Ps04_192115819), height chr6-1 (Ps06_38889673), height chr7-1 (Ps07_115631962), height chr7-2 (Ps07_129458029), height chr7-3 (Ps07_256289873), Ps01_12111263, Ps01_21627814, Ps01_80920094, Ps01_165828422, Ps01_172888276, Ps01_274311344, Ps02_277385615, Ps01_306049485, Ps01_345383217, Ps01_414516587, Ps02_389051201, Ps02_406013484, Ps02_415945622, Ps03_98286373, Ps04_33913844, Ps04_383816669, Ps04_445153308, Ps05_48702172, Ps05_237258346, Ps05_318938718, Ps05_320108884, Ps05_526760209, Ps05_536892706, Ps06_32259152, Ps06_43753843, Ps06_105337899, Ps06_127479778, Ps06_367630606, Ps06_427519500, Ps07_9801763, Ps07_39866790, Ps07_129103458, Ps07_142955054, Ps07_173064631, Ps07_173321635, Ps07_278403545, Ps07_303005109, Ps07_481516842, Ps01_279286967, Ps01_405953972, Ps02_66314510, Ps02_146578429, Ps03_114813976, Ps03_120645295, Ps03_230771576, Ps03_253149185, Ps03_512230003, Ps03_531239107, Ps03_71303964, Ps04_69656387, Ps04_144177304, Ps04_156326296, Ps04_260958274, Ps04_264937409, Ps04_374148702, Ps04_453044385, Ps05_3468595, Ps05_223782536, Ps05_352490739, Ps05_473638215, Ps05_481936646, Ps05_528041290, Ps05_551582581, Ps05_583707944, Ps05_612824899, Ps05_616716582, Ps06_12615016, Ps06_33377536, Ps06_349137016, Ps06_425993896, Ps07_133823647, Ps07_194142598, Ps07_195412515, Ps01_68070331, Ps02_233036770, Ps02_342684459, Ps02_426672885, Ps02_433458109, Ps03_94359486, Ps03_104956337, Ps03_118892995, Ps03_195398925, Ps03_205809630, Ps03_241957626, Ps03_242777502, Ps03_251323511, Ps03_374110266, Ps03_437895589, Ps03_493092288, Ps04_205866569, Ps04_389245228, Ps04_430139407, Ps04_448803743, Ps05_5262178, Ps05_160013078, Ps05_174010831, Ps05_277684648, Ps06_213382570, Ps06_236678213, Ps06_398588276, Ps06_472058597, Ps06_478057404, Ps07_58281807, Ps07_105730908, Ps07_112377551, Ps07_114916793, Ps07_213648906, Ps07_234681662, Ps07_238767894, and Ps07_489306364;
• (b) selecting from the first population one or more pea plants or seeds comprising one or more yield, height, and/or lodging alleles having the at least one yield, height, and/or lodging molecular marker;
• and
• (c) producing a second population of progeny pea plants or seeds from the selected one or more pea plants or plants grown from the selected seeds, wherein the second population of progeny pea plants or seeds comprises the one or more yield, height, and/or lodging alleles having the at least one yield, height, and/or lodging molecular marker,
• and wherein the second population of progeny pea plants or seeds are pea plants or seeds with a desirable yield, height, and/or lodging phenotype, thereby producing a population of pea plants or seeds with a desirable yield, height, and/or lodging phenotype.
