This document describes the development of near-isogenic lines (NILs) in soybean containing a recessive bacterial leaf pustule resistance gene (rxp) introgressed from donor parent SS2-2 into two recurrent parents, Hwangkeumkong and Taekwangkong. The researchers performed three rounds of backcrossing followed by two generations of selfing. They used marker-assisted selection with over 100 SSR markers to select plants with the highest percentage of recurrent parent genome. The resulting NILs will be used to map and characterize the rxp gene through transcript analysis when infected with the bacterial pathogen.
