Genetic loci associated with phenotypes of reproductive growth in soybean and Methods of use

摘要

Claim 1: a method for selecting a plant of soybeans or soybean Germplasm with one or more phenotypes of reproductive Growth; The Method comprises: (a) detecting LTo plant soybeans or soybean Germplasm from at least one allele of one or more markers loci within or linked to a quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with the days until the iniCio of flowering, in which the first allele promotes Reproductive Growth phenotype of selected from the group consisting of Early Flowering and late Flowering.Where one or more loci and markers selected from the group consisting of: (1) a Marker locus located in chromosome flanked by an interval that includes the Marker locus and SCT and former _ 187Treme distal chromosome 18; (2) a Marker locus Genetic recombination is located at a distance of less than or equal to 5 cm of the F2 Marker Locus on chromosome 18; (3) located at a Marker LocusA recombinant Genetic distance less than or equal to 5 cm of the F5 locus marker on chromosome 18; (4) a Marker locus Genetic recombination is located at a distance of less than or equal to 5 cmThe F6 Marker Locus on chromosome 18; (5) a Marker locus Genetic recombination located at a distance of less than or equal to 5 cm F7 locus marker on chromosome 18; and (6) a Locus MarkOr Genetic recombination located at a distance of less than or equal to 5 cm Marker F8 Locus on chromosome 18; and (b) select the plant of soybeans or soybean Germplasm QEU comprises at least one allele of the stage (a), and thereforeSelect a plant of soybean Reproductive Growth phenotype with a First selected from the group consisting of Early Flowering and late Flowering.Claim 27: a plant or Germplasm of soybean Progeny produced by the method of claim 1, 9, 16, 25 and 26.Claim 34: a case for selecting at least one plant of soybeans through marker assisted selection of a QTL associated with days to FloweringComprising: (a) primers or probes for Detecting a polymorphism in the Genome of soybean, where the physical position of the polymorphism were selected from the group consisting 60.914.550 base Pairs (BP) on chromosome 18, 61.796.264 BP on chromosome 18, 60.840.873 BP on chromosome 18, 60.745.556 BP on chromosome 18, 61.963.221 BP on chromosome 18, 62.111.333 BP on chromosome 18, 61.948911 BP on chromosome 18, 61.948.986 BP on chromosome 18,And a combination of these; and (b) the instructions for using the primers or Probes to detect markers loci and loci markers correlate with the Expected Number of days from theEmbra until the beginning of Flowering.
