  • Methods and compositions for selecting soybean plants resistant to southern root knot nematode
    Patent number: 8198509
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes a method for breeding soybean plants containing one or more quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to Southern Root Knot Nematode (SRKN). The invention further provides germplasm and the use of germplasm containing QTL conferring disease resistance for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel elite germplasm comprising one or more SRKN resistance QTL.

  • Methods and Compositions for Increased Yield
    Publication number: 20110010793
    Abstract: The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the art by providing methods for breeding soybean plants containing genomic regions associated with the pubescence alleles, T and Td, associated with increased grain yield. In addition, the invention provides the locus for Td. Moreover, the invention includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing genomic regions conferring increased yield for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program. Moreover, the invention provides methods of purifying soybean breeding lines for such traits as flower color and pubescence color at early stages, such as seed. The invention also provides derivatives, and plant parts of these plants and uses thereof.
