Claim:
1. A method of producing a soybean plant or germplasm that displays tolerance or improved tolerance to Fusarium solani infection, the method comprising: isolating nucleic acids from a genome of a first soybean plant or germplasm; detecting in the first soybean plant or germplasm at least one allele of one or more marker locus that is associated with the tolerance or improved tolerance, wherein the at least one allele is detected using a composition comprising a detectable label; selecting said first soybean plant or germplasm, or selecting a progeny of said first soybean plant or germplasm wherein the plant, germplasm or progeny comprises at least one allele associated with tolerance or improved tolerance to Fusarium solani infection; and introgressing the allele associated with tolerance or improved tolerance to Fusarium solani infection of the first soybean plant or germplasm into a second soybean plant or germplasm to produce an introgressed soybean plant or germplasm, wherein the one or more marker locus is selected from the group consisting of: (a) SATT 142, SATT181, SATT302, SAT_175, Sat_216, SATT637, SATT293, SATT317 and Sat 218; and, (b) a marker locus that displays a genetic recombination frequency of less than about 10% with the one or more marker locus of (a).
