The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a Disease resistant soybean plant or germplasm using markers, genes and chromosomal intervals derived fromPI441001, PI441008, PI446958, PI509501, PI583970, or PI483224. A soybean plant or germplasm that has been identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided. Disease resistant soybean seeds, plants and germplasms are also provided.

Genetic loci associated with disease resistance in soybeans

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a Disease resistant soybean plant or germplasm using markers, genes and chromosomal intervals derived fromPI441001, PI441008, PI446958, PI583970, or PI483224. A soybean plant or germplasm that has been identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided. Disease resistant soybean seeds, plants and germplasms are also provided.

Resistance genes associated with disease resistance in soybeans

Provided here are methods of using a mutated patatin-like phospholipase IIα ('pPLAIIα,' renamed here MATRILINEAL) to induce haploid induction in plants, cloning a pPLAIIα to induce haploid induction in plants, and genetically engineering a plant to contain a mutated pPLAIIα. Also provided are methods of applying topical and spray chemicals, lipids, and RNAi molecules to plants during pollination in order to induce haploid production. Further provided are methods of chemically treating plants during pollination to induce haploids while also reducing embryo abortion and increasing seed set.

Haploid induction compositions and methods for use therefor

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a Disease resistant soybean plant or germplasm using genes derived from. A soybean plant or germplasm that has been identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided. Disease resistant soybean seeds, plants and germplasms are also provided.

Provided are isolated cDNAs comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 33, SEQ ID NO: 37, SEQ ID NO: 52 or SEQ ID NO: 53. Also provided are expression cassettes; vectors; transgenic plant cells; plants, plant parts, and seeds; isolated polypeptides; amplicons and informative fragments of the presently disclosed nucleic acids; compositions that include amplification primer pairs; methods for producing plants that exhibit HI; methods for identifying the presence or absence of an allele associated with HI in a plant; methods for introgressing Haploid-inducing nucleotide sequences into plants; and methods for selecting parental plants predicted to produce progeny generations with plants that exhibit Haploid Induction trait.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a corn plant or corn germplasm comprising a corn sugary enhancer gene (SE1) with enhanced sugary trait. A corn plant, part thereof and/or corn germplasm that has been identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided.

Methods and compositions for sweet corn sugary enhancer (SEI) gene

The present invention pertains to an isolated promoter sequence fromBOSI gene encoding a protein for biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. Also, the invention relates to recombinant vectors, expression cassettes, host cells, plants or progeny thereof comprising nucleic acid molecules operably linked to said promoter.

[object Object]

TheNI16 gene was isolated in a yeast 2-hybrid screen via its interaction with the NIM1 protein and encodes a protein involved in the regulation of SAR gene expression in plants. NI16 is strongly induced in NIM1-overexpressing plants treated with benzo(1,2,3)thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (BTH). The nucleic acid sequence of theNI16 promoter is disclosed herein.
