METHODS TO IDENTIFY SOYBEAN APHID RESISTANT QUANTITATIVE TRAIT LOCI IN SOYBEAN AND COMPOSITIONS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and aphid resistance. More specifically, the invention includes a method for breeding soybean plants containing quantitative trait loci that are associated with resistance to aphids, Aphis glycines. The invention further includes method for monitoring the introgression quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring aphid resistance into elite germplasm in a breeding program.

1. A method of introgressing an allele into a soybean plant comprising:
(A) Providing a population of soybean plants, (B) Genotyping at least one soybean plant in the population with respect to a soybean genomic nucleic acid marker selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NO: 81 through SEQ ID NO: 120, (C) Selecting from the population at least one soybean plant comprising at least one allele associated with aphid resistance.
