MARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH SOYBEAN RUST RESISTANCE AND METHODS OF USE THEREFOR

摘要

Methods for conveying soybean rust (SBR) resistance into non-resistant soybean germplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include introgressing SBR resistance into a non-resistant soybean using one or more nucleic acid markers for marker-assisted breeding among soybean lines to be used in a soybean breeding program, wherein the markers are linked to and/or associated with SBR resistance. Also provided are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with resistance to SBR; soybean plants, seeds, and tissue cultures produced by any of the disclosed methods; seed produced by the disclosed soybean plants; and compositions including amplification primer pairs capable of initiating DNA polymerization by a DNA polymerase on soybean nucleic acid templates to generate soybean marker amplicons.

1. A method for conveying resistance to soybean rust (SBR) into non-resistant soybean germplasm comprising introgressing SBR resistance into a non-resistant soybean using one or more nucleic acid markers for marker-assisted breeding among soybean lines to be used in a soybean breeding program, wherein the markers are linked to an SBR resistance locus selected from the group consisting of Rpp4, and Rpp5 wherein, Rpp4 is comprises any one of SEQ ID NOs: 9 or 10; and Rpp5 comprises any one of SEQ ID NOs: 11-13.
