  • MARKER MAPPING AND RESISTANCE GENE ASSOCIATIONS IN SOYBEAN
    Publication number: 20110145953
    Abstract: The invention provides novel molecular genetic markers in soybean, where the markers are useful, for example, in the marker-assisted selection of gene alleles that impart disease-resistance, thereby allowing the identification and selection of a disease-resistant plant. The markers also find use in positional cloning of disease-resistance genes.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 25, 2011
    Publication date: June 16, 2011
    Inventors: Michael Godwin, Feng Han, Alec A. Hayes, Xu Hu, Soon-Chun Jeong, Guihua Lu, M.A. Saghai Maroof

  • LOW PHYTIC ACID, LOW STACHYOSE, HIGH SUCROSE SOYBEAN LINES
    Publication number: 20080199591
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel soybean lines having high sucrose content and low phytic acid and low stachyose content. The soybeans are easily digested and provide high energy content for animals and humans. The low phytic acid content permits animal feed to be produced that does not require phytase, yet does not result in significant production of pollution to the environment from excretion by farm animals.
