Abstract
The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible to iron deficient growth conditions. The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct disease-tolerant plants or identify and counterselect disease-susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance to Phytophthora root rot infection that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.
Claims21
A method of identifying a first soybean plant or germplasm that displays tolerance, improved tolerance or susceptibility to iron deficiency, the method comprising detecting in the first soybean plant or germplasm at least one allele of one or more marker locus that is associated with the tolerance, improved tolerance or susceptibility, wherein the one or more marker locus is
- a marker locus localizing within a chromosome interval flanked by and including SATT334 and SATT510.
