Abstract:
1. A method for selecting a disease-resistant soybean plant, the method comprising: a) detecting a marker nucleic acid, wherein the marker nucleic acid maps ten centimorgans or less from a disease-resistance gene allele, wherein the marker comprises the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 (SSLP039), or a polynucleotide sequence that is completely complementary to SEQ ID NO: 1, and wherein the disease-resistance gene allele is selected from the group consisting of resistance alleles of frogeye leaf spot resistance gene (Rcs3), brown stem rot resistance gene 1 (Rbs1), brown stem rot resistance gene 2 (Rbs2) and brown stem rot resistance gene 3 (Rbs3); and, b) selecting a plant comprising the marker nucleic acid, thereby selecting a disease-resistant plant.
