Patent ID: 8530723

Claim:
A method for selecting a soybean plant with resistance to Aphis glycines (RAG), the method comprising: (a) genotyping one or more soybean plants with respect to one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), wherein the one or more SNPs correspond to one or more molecular markers selected from the group consisting of an A at nucleotide 203 of SEQ ID NO: 1, an A at position 615 of SEQ ID NO: 3, an A at position 33 of SEQ ID NO: 19, a T at position 78 of SEQ ID NO: 19, a T at position 104 of SEQ ID NO: 19, and an A at position 208 of SEQ ID NO: 19; and (b) selecting a soybean plant that includes at least one resistance allele associated with the SNPs, thereby selecting an Aphis glycines resistant soybean plant.
