Phenolic Chemical Defense Contributes to Resistance against Multiple Soybean Cyst Nematode Populations in Wild Soybean

Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines, SCN) is one of the most damaging pathogens of soybean worldwide. Virulence diversity among SCN populations and reliance on a limited number of resistance sources present major challenges for durable SCN management. Here, we investigated a wild soybean (Glycine soja) genotype...

Functional divergence of two soybean cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferases in development and defense against soybean cyst nematode

The results indicate that GmSHMT05 sustains overall soybean growth and development in the absence of GmSHMT08, however, GmSHMT08’s gain-of-function in SCN resistance negatively influences pod and root growth, highlighting a potential trade-off between soybean defense and development that may impact yield.
