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.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible to Charcoal Rot Drought Complex. The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct tolerant plants or identify and counter-select susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance to Charcoal Rot Drought Complex that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Abstract: Provided herein are isolated nucleic acid molecules representing a genetically defined region of the genome of the aphid resistant soybean plant (Glycine max) cultivar PI 200538 that confers resistance to soybean aphid (Aphis glycines). Within the region is a gene encoding the aphid resistance protein Rag2. Also provided herein are methods for conferring aphid resistance on a plant or enhancing aphid resistance in a plant by transforming it to contain and express such nucleic acid sequences encoding Rag2 aphid resistance or introgressing DNA encoding the trait into the plant by plant breeding. Further provided are polymorphic markers useful for identifying plant germplasm containing aphid resistance, and methods for using such markers.
