Abstract
Various methods and compositions are provided for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasm with tolerance or improved tolerance to Phytophthora infection. In certain embodiments, the method comprises detecting at least one marker locus that is associated with tolerance to Phytophthora infection. In other embodiments, the method further comprises detecting at least one marker profile or haplotype associated with tolerance to Phytophthora infection. In further embodiments, the method comprises crossing a selected soybean plant with a second soybean plant. Further provided are markers, primers, probes and kits useful for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasm with tolerance or improved tolerance to Phytophthora infection.
