Abstract
Compositions and methods for identifying soybean plants with reduced levels of saturated fatty acids are provided. Methods of making soybean plants with reduced levels of saturated fatty acids, e.g., through introgression of desired saturated fatty acid marker alleles and/or by transgenic production methods, as well as plants or germplasm made by these methods, are provided. Kits for selecting plants with reduced levels of saturated fatty acids are also provided.
Claims12
A method of identifying a soybean plant with reduced levels of saturated fatty acid, the method comprising:
- (a) isolating nucleic acids from a soybean plant;
- (b) using the isolated nucleic acids to detect an allele comprising a nucleotide polymorphism at Gm05:7995435, wherein the nucleotide polymorphism is an A, and is associated with reduced levels of palmitic acid;
- and
- (c) selecting the soybean plant having the allele associated with reduced levels of saturated fatty acid.
