Markers For Aphid Resistant Germplasm In Soybean Plants

View page
US Patent:
8227662, Jul 24, 2012
Filed:
Oct 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/261951
Inventors:
Dechun Wang - Okemos MI, US
Clarice Mensah - Ankeny IA, US
Christina DiFonzo - Williamston MI, US
Guorong Zhang - East Lansing MI, US
Menghan Liu - Okemos MI, US
Zhenyu Yang - Okemos MI, US
Assignee:
Board Of Trustees Of Michigan State University - East Lansing MI
International Classification:
A01H 1/00
A01H 1/02
C12Q 1/68
C12N 5/04
US Classification:
800265, 800302, 800279, 800298, 435415, 435419
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for providing and using markers of aphid resistant germplasm, particularly for identifying aphid resistance germplasm in soybean plants. Specifically, the inventions related to providing aphid resistant germplasm identified by markers associated with decreased damage from aphid feeding, as well as enhanced tolerance to aphid infestation of soybean plants. More particularly, the invention relates to compositions and methods for using genetic markers in breeding methods for producing plants with increased resistance to aphid damage and tolerance, while retaining and acquiring desired agronomic traits, Furthermore, the invention relates to plants produced by these breeding programs for use in commercial soybean production.

US Patent:
20140196167, Jul 10, 2014
Filed:
Dec 6, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/099469
Inventors:
- East Lansing MI, US
Zhongnan Zhang - Zionsville IN, US
Cuihua Gu - East Lansing MI, US
Christina D. DiFonzo - Williamston MI, US
Guorong Zhang - East Lansing MI, US
Zhengyu Yang - Jilin Province, CN
Menghan Liu - Okemos MI, US
Clarice Mensah - Ankeny IA, US
Assignee:
Board of Trustees of Michigan State University - East Lansing MI
International Classification:
C12N 15/82
US Classification:
800265, 800302, 435 611
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for identifying and using new germplasm providing aphid resistant in soybean plants, particularly for use in breeding soybean plant lines and cultivars representing specific set(s) of germplasm. In particular, aphid resistant soybean plants comprising new sources of germplasm and stacked germplasm/genes conferring enhanced aphid resistance are provided. These enhanced aphid resistant plants find use in breeding soybean plant lines (cultivars) including lines having superior aphid resistance. Further, the inventions relate to providing new aphid resistant germplasm identified by markers associated with plants having decreased damage from aphid feeding, as well as plants having enhanced tolerance to aphid infestation. Even further, the invention relates to compositions and methods for using genetic markers in breeding methods for producing plants and plant cultivars having increased resistance to aphid damage and increased tolerance to aphids, while retaining and acquiring desired agronomic traits.
