METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR SELECTING SOYBEAN PLANTS RESISTANT TO PHYTOPHTHORA ROOT ROT

The present invention relates to the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically， the invention includes a method for breeding soybean plants containing quantitative trail loci (QTL) for resistance the Phytophthora root rot (PRR) caused by Phytophthora sojae. The invention further includes the use of molecular markers in the introgression of PRR resistance QTL into soybean plants.
