Patent ID: 8796503

Claim:
A method for producing an Asian Soybean Rust (ASR) resistant soybean plant comprising: a. performing marker assisted selection to identify a soybean plant possessing a resistance allele of ASR resistance locus 15, wherein ASR resistance locus 15 is obtainable from PI507009, and identifiable by one or more of the markers selected from the group consisting of NS0093385, NS0118716, and NS0127833, wherein a resistance allele of each of said markers NS0093385, NS0118716, and NS0127833 comprises SEQ ID NOs: 76, 77, and 78, respectively; and b. generating a progeny of said soybean plant wherein said progeny possesses said resistance allele of ASR resistance locus 15 and exhibits at least partial resistance to ASR.
