SOYBEN GENE CLUSTER REGIONS ASSOCIATED WITH APHID RESISTANCE AND METHOS OF USE

摘要

Methods for conveying pathogen resistance into non-resistant soybeangermplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods includeintrogressing pathogen resistance into a non-resistant soybean using one ormore nucleic acid markers for marker-assisted breeding among soybean lines tobe used in a soybean breeding program, wherein the markers are linked toand/or associated with pathogen resistance. Also provided are singlenucleotidepolymorphisms (SNPs) associated with resistance to pathogens; soybean plants,seeds, and tissue cultures produced by any of the disclosed methods; seedproduced by the disclosed soybean plants; and compositions includingamplification primer pairs capable of initiating DNA polymerization by a DNApolymerase on soybean nucleic acid templates to generate soybean markeramplicons.
