Methods and compositions to enhance plant breeding

摘要

The present invention provides breeding methods and compositions to enhance the germplasm of a plant. The methods describe the identification and accumulation of transgenes and favorable haplotype genomic regions in the germplasm of a breeding population of crop plants.

主权项

1. A method of breeding a transgenic soybean plant comprising the steps of:
transforming a parent soybean plant with a recombinant DNA to produce at least two transgenic soybean plants; and selecting at least one of the transgenic soybean plants for breeding, wherein said at least one transgenic soybean plant has in its genome at least one genetic marker that is genetically linked to a haplotype selected from the group consisting of C8W6H5, C18W3H8, C19W3H6, C16W8H43, C1W1H2, C1W2H1, C14W7H2, and C6W4H1; and said haplotype further comprises a linked transgene.
