This is a 111 (a) Patent Appn of copending U. S. Provisional Application SJN
601083,439 filed on April 29, 1998.
TECHrIICAL FFIELLD OF THE INVENTION
The imrention described herein relates to the field of geaetics a~ the tion of
genetic marlaers for the selective breeding of soybean plants.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Soybean is a major cash crop and investment commodityr throughout the World.
For
example; soybeans serve as a universal ant for both animal feed and human food
production, and soybean oil is one ofthe most widely used edible oils in the
World.
Moreover, the monetary value of soybean harvested in 1994 was to be at
$30,390,000,000 (U.S. currency). Thus, factors that reduce soybean product~n,
such as
disease, ins~s, weeds and weather, can influonce the vv~el~e of entire
nations.
Diseases have been a major problem of soybean production in the United States.
Phytop~o~a sojae (P. ,sojoe), which causes root and stem rot of soybean, is
one ofthe most
destructive diseases against soybean. (Kaufl~m) M. J.,1~t Gerdemann, J. W.,
(PhytopJethora
megaspernta Dtechs. f. sp. glyicinea T . Kuan 8t D. C. Erwin). P. sojae is not
continent
specifics and therefore occurs in most of the soybean-growing areas of the
World, which in
addition to the United States) inchuies Canada, Austzalis, Hungary,
Japan) and New Zealand
(Athow, K.L., FroigrslDiseasesln Soybean: Imprav~ne~, Productiwt) and Uses.,
J.R.
Wilcox) ed. American Society of Agronomy, Madison, WL, pp 689-727 ( 1987). It
has been
discovered that minor of soybean confer diirn levels of ieaistaax to P.
so,~ae.
(Wallaer, AK., Schrnitthenner, AF., JYeritabik'ty of Toleraaoe to Phyto~thWrr
rot in
Soybean. Crop Sci 24: 490-491 ( 1984)). Such resistance, which conti~es toward
defending
the soybean against the pathogen P. sojae, is often referred to as field
resistance, toleiarrre) or
rate-seducing resistance. (Olah) AF., Scbmitthermer) AF.) and Wallcsr, A.K.,

pp 35-38 (1980)). The soybean gene most directly imrolved in providing
resistance against
the P. sojae pathogen is the appropriately labeled Rps (resistance to P.
s~ojae) gene.
Mole speciixalty a series of single-don»t Rps genes provide the race-specific
resistance among soybean cultivars. As to date, at least Fourteen (14) Rps
genes which

In soybean) Rpe 8e~-controlled mcan be exp~nessed as a variety of defense
responses. A pm~emed method for detecting the Rps gene coMnolled resjatanoe is
to measure

UK). Thus, a soyb~n cuttivar coataimng the Rps gene is desired, however,
determining
whether the soybean cultivar contains the Rps gene through bioche~ic~l
analysis and classical
genetics is time consuming and expensive.
A metllud for expeditiously and inexpensively deng whether a soybean cultivar
contains the Rps gene is needed. The invention descn'bed herein, however,
answers such need
by identifying and applying genetic markers ~or the Rpsl gene. In general, the
use of
genetic markers can assist in the indinect selection of agcvnomically
favorable geness among
segregating irldividuala in plant br~oeding populations. Marker-assisted
selection is partiat>arly
useful when the desired trait is largely ai~Ctod by the environment, which
often cannot be
adequately controlled to optim~e the expmssion of the trait. For e~le, the
greater the
elect of an environment on a trait and the less that environment can be
controlled, the less
will be that traits heritability and conoomi~rt predictability of phenotypes.
Genetic marloera~
additionally, prove the researcher with the genotypes ofdii~ent plant specs,
which, in
ei~Ct, limits the need for progeay testing. Moreover, the heritability of
molecular marloa~s
can be 100~/0. Very tightly linloed molecular marinas, for example, can serve
as very useful
criteria in praiicting the phenotypes or genotypes of attr~utss with low
lsu~abibity. If a
polymorphic 8enetic marber occurs within a fiew centimorgans of a gene acting
a desired
trnit, combination events between the marker and gene would occur nu~ely,
providing the
high he~itabi)ity and low error rate for reliable indimct selections of a
favorable 8ene
ZO and the trait it 8overns.
Marker assisted selection ~or Pkytopr~ona root and stem rot (PRST) n~sistance
can
only be accom~ished after one or more markers are found that are geaeticalty
linlaed to one or
mom PRST resistance lea. The Applicarrt of the invention descn'bed herein has
isolated and
genetic markers for PRST resistance and developed a method for using such
msrlaers in breeding soybean plants that ate PRST resistant. Additionally, the
Applicant has
applied a method of using the previously unknown geaetic marlrers fir map-
based cbning of
the Rpal gene.

DETAILED DESCRZPT>iDN
Markers to a locus for the Rpsl gene, which is associated with Phytophthora
root and
stem mt (PRST) resistance were genetically identified and mapped. The markers
include
OPRK15, Tgmr, TC 1, CGl, RAPD 217 and RAPD 271, which pmvide new a~ vahiable
tools to soybean breeders For selecting and developing future soybean
cultivars having PRST
resistarxx. The described herein additionally provide the ~nundation for the
initiation
of a chromosorre landing or walking experimesrt, thereby enabling the
isolation and
ident>scation of the agranomically important soybeaa resistant 8ene, R,p~!-k.
The cbning of
this Rps gene can contribute toward the elucidation ofthe recognition proces$
and the signal
transduction pathway involved in the expression of racx-specific resistance in
the soybean-P.
soiae irrter~rction. Furthermore, the cloned Rpsl-k gene can also be
introducxd via direct
tnmlsformation into soybean culuvars carrying alternative Rpvsl functional
alleles to

It is generally understood that retrotn3nsposona transpose through RNA
intermediates
and, with the assistance of the enzyme ~werse transcriptase) produce a DNA
copy in a new
chromosomal location. Although the original element remains independent
(thereby increasing
its copy number), the inten~al domains of the elemerrt can be deleted due to
reansn.
For example, Vegh, et al. have reported that the retnntzanaposon-lilac
sequence Tmsl of
Mediaago sativre rearranges. (Vegh, Z., Ymcae, E., Kadirov, R, T6th) G., Kiss,

observed lack of a

similar
reanangetnents in the 8anldng regions of the other four Rpsl alleles

Thirty~four (34) primer oombinatio~ revealed polymorphisms between the

between the two pools. These primer combinations were then reassessed in the
second AFLP

In the second AFLP scn~ing step, three (3) additional DNA templates-pools C

USE OF TSE NEWLY IDENTIF~'.D lIZARi~'.~4 IN PLANT BREEDING
Coaventiorral methods for improving the resistance of soybean to the P. sojae
pathogen includes the transfer ofRps genes to cultivated varieties through
successive back
crossing. In performing the back crossing process, it is necessary to evahrate
beck-cased
progenie$ is every generation ~or the expression of resistance. Such a progeny
testing process
Z0 is extremely time consuming and requires the expertise of a plant
pathologist. Therefore, an
alternative approach for improving the transfer of Rps ,genes to cultivated
variieties is needed.
As previously discu~d, the Rps1 locus soc (6) fu~tional disease red
geu~es that oo~'er resistance to di~arent P. sojae races. Several DNA
soquarcxs have been
iderrdged and ripped tightly to the Rpsl gene. Additionally, conventional
genetic analysis
ZS has slrowa that all s~ (6) Rpsl genes (Rpsl-a, b, c~ d, a and k) map to the
same soyb~a
genonric location or locus. Therafone, the identification of the Rpsl-8anxing
sequencxa
should allow us to develop very useful molecular marloers for all Rpa 1 genes.
These
sequetrxs, tlre<efote, should be ap~icable in developing triarher-assisted
selection
for all Rpal alleles with limited effort.

CA 02269215 1999-07-19

For example, the OPRKI 5 marker can be used for the screerring of biding
populations containing the Rpsl-k 8ene, which provides for resjstance against
the P. s~ojae
pathogen. Thus, in a pedigree breeding fvr the improvement of yield, yield
attributes, or other
desirable quantitative traits, such Rpsl-specific markers can assist soybean
breeders in
selecting the desirable genotypes carrying the Rps gene (and its various
alleles). Such a
selection can be perfon~ed by using an advance generation of the cross
produced from two
elite lines, in which) one of the lines carry the ~Sl gene.
The perfon~ance of this screening eliminates the need of a plant physiologist.
Most
importantly, since we can study the genotype of an individual using these
markers, there is no
need to perform any pmgerry testsng; thus saving a generation time of
approximately six (6)
months.
USE OF THE NEWLY IDENTIFIED 11ZARIOaRS FOR
INCREASING R~psl REPRESENTATION IN THE SOYBEAN
GENOME AND MAP BASED CLONING OF THE Rpsl GENE
Development ofa soybean clritivar carrying more than one Rpsl gene has not
been
achieved because all snc (6) alleles of the Rpsl sane are mapped to the same
chromosomal
region or locus. T6er$fore, isolation of one of these and application of plant
ttans~onnation techniques wdl allow for the develop~nt ofa line of soybean
having an
2D additional R,psl gene. For e~le, the isolated Rpsl gene can be transferred
to the soybean
genome by using an Ag~robacterium-mediated traaa~n~tion procedure. As o~ Rpsl
gene
can confer resistance to a selective number ofP. so, jae rsces~ a line
carrying two Rpsl genes
will have increased resistance against wider range of P. sofae races.
Furthern~ore, the cbning
of the Rps1-k or other Rpsl alleles allows for tire devdop~m oftn~nsgenic
elite lines) which
can preclude the linlrage-drag of deleterious genes that commonly nesuh in
coanal back-
cmssea breeding.
We have also applied the previously discussed map-based arethod for cloning
the Rpsl
gene. By isolating large DNA fia~merrts from soybean bacterial artificial
chromosome (BAC)
hbn~ries for CGl and TC1 markers, which are mapped react to the Rpsl locus, a

between these two s can be constructed using BAC clones. This DNA bride or
°contig, ~~ once constructed, should carry the Rpsl-k gene thereby
facilitating the processes for
ide~ifying and isolating l~rl-k.
