Patent ID: 8669414

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 14, wherein ASR resistance locus 14 is obtainable from PI291309C, and identifiable by one or more of the markers selected from the group consisting of NS0095012, NS0119675, and NS0102630, wherein a resistance allele of each of said markers NS0095012, NS0119675, and NS0102630 comprises SEQ ID NOs 73, 74, and 75, respectively; and b. generating a progeny of said soybean plant wherein said progeny possesses said resistance allele of ASR resistance locus 14 and exhibits at least partial resistance to ASR.
