Abstract
Molecular markers associated with soybean reproductive stage, methods of their use, and compositions having one or more marker loci are provided. Methods comprise detecting at least one marker locus, detecting a haplotype, and/or detecting a marker profile. Methods may further comprise crossing a selected soybean plant with a second soybean plant. Isolated polynucleotides, primers, probes, kits, systems, etc., are also provided, as well as plants and seeds comprising one or more marker loci and having a preferred reproductive growth phenotype.
Claims12
A method of producing a soybean plant comprising a marker profile associated with reproductive growth in soybean, the method comprising:
- a) crossing at least one first soybean plant comprising an ultra-early allele at an E1 locus, wherein the ultra-early allele at the E1 locus is a C at Gm06:20084642, with at least a second soybean plant comprising a late allele at an E2 locus, wherein the late allele at the E2 locus is a C Gm10:44725777;
- b) obtaining at least one progeny soybean plant from the cross of the at least one first soybean plant and the at least one second soybean plant;
- c) assaying the progeny plant with respect to markers S03703-1 and S01574-1, as to identify if the progeny plant is homozygous for the E1 and E2 loci, respectively;
- and
- d) selecting a soybean plant or progeny thereof homozygous for the E1 and E2 loci, thus producing a soybean with a marker profile associated with reproductive growth.
A method of producing a soybean plant comprising a marker profile associated with reproductive growth in soybean, the method comprising:
- a) crossing at least one first soybean plant comprising an ultra-early allele at an E1 locus, wherein the ultra-early allele at the E1 locus is a C at Gm06:20084642, with at least a second soybean plant comprising an early allele at an E3 locus, wherein the early allele at the E3 locus is a C Gm19:47535046;
- b) obtaining at least one progeny soybean plant from the cross of the at least one first soybean plant and the at least one second soybean plant;
- c) assaying the progeny plant with respect to markers S03703-1 and S16601-001, as to identify if the progeny plant is homozygous for the E1 and E3 loci, respectively;
- and
- d) selecting a soybean plant or progeny thereof homozygous for the E1 and E3 loci, thus producing a soybean with a marker profile associated with reproductive growth.
