  • Patent number: 10455792
    Abstract: A soybean cultivar designated TMG4177 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar TMG4177, the plants of soybean cultivar TMG4177, the plant parts of soybean cultivar TMG4177, and to methods for producing progeny of soybean cultivar TMG4177. The invention also relates to methods for producing a soybean plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic soybean plants and plant parts produced by those methods. The invention also relates to soybean cultivars or breeding cultivars, and plant parts derived from soybean cultivar TMG4177.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2019
    Assignee: TROPICAL MELHORAMENTO & GENETICA

  • Patent number: 8962914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to screening methods for rust resistance or tolerance, in particular, Asian soybean rust (ASR—Phakopsora pachyrhizi). In addition, the present invention relates to the use of molecular markers for the Glycine genus, in particular, for the Glycine max species. The present invention further relates to a method for identifying loci with quantitative and/or qualitative traits associated with rust resistance or tolerance in plants by means of molecular markers. Said markers can be used for assisted screening in improvement programs directed to selecting disease-resistant or -tolerant plants. The present invention also relates to gene pyramiding related to rust resistance. The markers of the present invention are also useful for the positional cloning of rust-resistant or -tolerant genes. Also disclosed are a method for obtaining disease-resistant or -tolerant cultivars, a process for obtaining a plant population and a method for controlling diseases in a plant population.
