US Patent:

50840827, Jan 28, 1992

Filed:

Feb 20, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/481543

Inventors:

Scott A. Sebastian - Hockessin DE

Assignee:

E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

A01N 4302
A01N 4348
A01N 4364
A01H 500

US Classification:

71 90

Abstract:

The utilization of a positive selection seed screening process to isolate rate variants with resistance to a herbicide is described. The ability to screen large numbers of mutagenized seed has made it feasible to pursue and isolate plants with low frequency dominant herbicide-resistance mutations. The dominant herbicide resistance mutations are useful for many applications including expanding the utility of sulfonylurea herbicides for soybean weed control, production of F. sub. 1 and F. sub. 2 seeds, and as selectable markers for efficient seed purification.

Filed:

Jul 23, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/097349

International Classification:

A01H 100
A01H 102
A01H 500
C12N 1500

US Classification:

47 58

Abstract:

A novel method of identifying genetic markers linked to allels conferring yield potential of a crop species has been developed. By conducting genetic marker analysis of a set of current elite lines and the ancestral population from which they were derived by decades of plant breeding, one can determine and compare the expected and observed allele frequencies within elite populations at numerous polymorphic loci. Since the traditional plant breeding effort has consistently utilized yield as a selection criteria, deviations from expected allele frequency at certain loci have been used to identify alleles that confer yield potential. Agronomically superior progeny can, therefore, be selected utilizing genetic markers.

US Patent:

20170342509, Nov 30, 2017

Filed:

Aug 7, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/670428

Inventors:

- Johnston IA, US
Feng Han - Hockessin DE, US
Scott A. Sebastian - Polk City IA, US
Donald Kyle - Princeton IL, US
Paul A. Stephens - Urbandale IA, US
Thomas C. Corbin - Monticello IL, US
Jeffrey A. Thompson - Edwardsville IL, US

International Classification:

C12Q 1/68
A01H 5/10
A01H 1/04
C12N 15/82

Abstract:

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible to infection (the causative agent of sudden death syndrome or SDS). The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct disease-tolerant plants or identify and counter-select disease-susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance to infection that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.
