A near-isogenic lines(NILs) -Williams and Williams82 is used to identify molecular marker linked to the resistance gene Rps1-k by RAPD. Genomic DNAs extracted from soybean leaves of the NILs were analyzed by RAPD using 160 different 10-nt random primers. Some specific DNA fragments were amplified from Williams82 with 4 primer(OPF-16, OPB-05, OPD-06 and OPH-05) which contains Rps1-k. All these specific DNA fragments were not detected in Williams. The experiment with OPH-05 was repeated 3 times and the results were the same. Using primer- OPH-05 to detect other resistance cultivars with Rps1-k, almost everyone can amplify the specific DNA fragment. So it is inferred that the specific DNA fragment is probably linked to Rps1-k.
