Resistance to Brown Stem Rot in Soybean Germ Plasm with Resistance to the Soybean Cyst Nematode

Engineered Soybean Cyst Nematode Resistance

Soil Ph in Relation to Brown Stem Rot and Soybean Cyst Nematode

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) and brown stem rot (BSR) fungus (Phialophora gregata) are serious pests of soybean, occurring over a range of soil types and soil pH. Often found in the same field, management strategies implemented to control one pathogen may in fact exacerbate damage caused by the other. As soybean acreage has increased, the duration between soybean crops h...

QTLs Associated with Resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode in Soybean: Meta-Analysis of QTL Locations

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is the most important pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the world. A total of 17 quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping papers and 62 marker–QTL associations have been reported for resistance to soybean cyst nematode in soybean. Conflicting results often occurred. The objectives of this study were to: (i) evaluate evidence for...

Host-Derived Artificial MicroRNA as an Alternative Method to Improve Soybean Resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is one of the most important pests limiting soybean production worldwide. Novel approaches to managing this pest have focused on gene silencing of target nematode sequences using RNA interference (RNAi). With the discovery of endogenous microRNAs as a mode of gene regulation in plants, artificial microRNA (amiRNA) methods have become an alte...

The soybean GmSNAP18 gene underlies two types of resistance to soybean cyst nematode

Two types of resistant soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) sources are widely used against soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe). These include Peking-type soybean, whose resistance requires both the rhg1-a and Rhg4 alleles, and PI 88788-type soybean, whose resistance requires only the rhg1-b allele. Multiple copy number of PI 88788-type GmSNAP18, GmAAT, and GmWI12 in one genom...
