Abstract:
A method of selecting a first plant by marker assisted selection of a quantitative trait locus (â€œQTLâ€ ) associated with soybean cyst nematode resistance, the method comprising the steps of:1) determining the presence of a locus in the first plant, wherein the locus hybridizes with a first nucleic acid and is genetically linked to a marker selected from the group consisting of pA85a, php02302a, php02340a, pk400a, pT155a, pBLT24a, pBLT65a, php05180a, pSAC3a, pA1116, php05266a, php02298b, pA664a, pA63a, php02366a, php02361a, php05354a, php 05219a, pK69a, pL50c, pK18a, pA567a, pA407a, pA404b, pA226a, pA715a, pK24a, pB157b, php02275a, php05278a, php05240c, pBLT49a, pK79a, and php03488a; and, 2) selecting the first plant comprising the locus that hybridizes with the first nucleic acid, thereby selecting the QTL associated with soybean cyst nematode resistance.
