This study aimed to enhance soybean rust resistance through marker-assisted gene pyramiding of the Rpp2, Rpp3, and Rpp4 genes. Study 1 validated the use of SSR markers linked to each gene for pyramiding. Study 2 evaluated combinations of the genes for resistance. Results showed complementary gene interactions increased resistance, though effectiveness depended on genetic background. Rpp3 conferred more dominant resistance. The study recommends further introgressing gene combinations into elite lines and evaluating durability of resistance.
