Abstract
A method for introgressing brown stem rot (BSR) resistance into elite soybean germplasm is disclosed. The method involves using a genetically mapped locus associated with BSR resistance for marker-assisted selection during introgression of BSR resistance into elite soybean germplasm. Also disclosed are a method for confirming selection for BSR resistance; a quantitative trait locus associated with BSR resistance; and soybean lines bred to be resistant to BSR infestation.
Claims7
A method of reliably and predictably introgressing brown stem rot resistance into non-resistant soybean germplasm comprising using one or more nucleic acid markers for marker assisted selection among soybean lines to be used in a soybean breeding program, the markers being associated with brown stem rot resistance, and wherein the nucleic acid markers are pB122a, php03490a, pK375b, pK5a, pG8.15b, pB32b, php03513a, pL69a, pK373a, php03497a, pA233a, or pA724a, and further comprising introgressing said resistance into said non-resistance into said non-resistant germplasm.
A nucleic acid marker genetically linked with the Rbs.sub.3 locus Of linkage group J of the soybean genome.
