  • Genetic loci associated with Frogeye Leaf Spot resistance and Brown Stem Rot resistance and methods of use
    Patent number: 10017829
    Abstract: Various methods and compositions are provided for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasm with improved resistance to Frogeye Leaf Spot and/or Brown Stem Rot. In certain embodiments, the method comprises detecting at least one marker locus that is associated with resistance to Frogeye Leaf Spot and/or Brown Stem Rot. In other embodiments, the method further comprises detecting at least one marker profile or haplotype associated with resistance to Frogeye Leaf Spot and/or Brown Stem Rot. In further embodiments, the method comprises crossing a selected soybean plant with a second soybean plant. Further provided are markers, primers, probes and kits useful for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasm with improved resistance to Frogeye Leaf Spot and/or Brown Stem Rot.
