Abstract:
The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing plants of a soybean variety that exhibit high seed protein and protein plus oil in combination with high yield. The invention also provides derivatives and plant parts of these plants. Further provided by the invention are methods for the use of these plants. The invention is significant in that oil and protein are important agronomic characteristics, but the value of these traits is diminished or eliminated when coupled with decreased yield.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 01046291. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 01046291. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 01046291 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 01046291 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes methods and compositions for breeding soybean plants containing quantitative trait loci that are associated with resistance to Brown Stem Rot (BSR), a fungal disease associated with Philophora spp. The invention further includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring disease resistance for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program for resistance to BSR.
