The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, remains a serious threat to
soybean production throughout the world. A lack of genetic diversity in resistant soybean …

Homology based gene silencing has emerged as a convenient approach for repressing
expression of genes in order to study their functions. For this purpose, several antisense or …

The rhg1-b allele of soybean is widely used for resistance against soybean cyst nematode
(SCN), the most economically damaging pathogen of soybeans in the United States. Gene …

Abstract Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important crop that provides a sustainable
source of protein and oil worldwide. Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) …

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 …

To gain new insights into the mechanism of soybean (Glycine max) resistance to the
soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines), we compared gene expression profiles of …

In vitro and ex vitro Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation (HRT)
assays are key components of the plant biotechnology and functional genomics toolkit. In …

Background Extensive studies using the model system Arabidopsis thaliana to elucidate
plant defense signaling and pathway networks indicate that salicylic acid (SA) is the key …

Salicylic acid plays a critical role in activating plant defence responses after pathogen attack.
Salicylic acid methyltransferase (SAMT) modulates the level of salicylic acid by converting …

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most important causes of soybean yield
loss. The major source of genetic resistance to SCN is the Rhg1 repeat, a tandem copy …
