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.

Genetic loci associated with Frogeye Leaf Spot resistance and Brown Stem Rot resistance and methods of use

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible toinfection (the causative agent of sudden death syndrome or SDS). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct disease-tolerant plants or identify and counter-select disease-susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance toinfection that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible toinfection (the causative agent of sudden death syndrome or SDS). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct disease-tolerant plants or identify and counterselect disease-susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance toinfection that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

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.

Marker mapping and resistance gene associations in soybean

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible to iron deficient growth conditions. The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct disease-tolerant plants or identify and counterselect disease-susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance toroot rot infection that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

QTL controlling sclerotinia stem ROT resistance in soybean

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible tosp. infection (the causative agent of white mold). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct disease-tolerant plants or identify and counterselect disease-susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance tosp. infection that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.
