Illinois soybean producers are challenged with yield reducing diseases including aphids, brown stem rot, frogeye leaf spot, charcoal rot, nematode diseases, Phytophthora root rot, rhizoctonia root rot, Sclerotina stem rot, soybean rust, sudden death syndrome, and viruses. One of the most sustainable and cost-effective disease management options is the deployment of resistant cultivars. In addition to currently useful resistance sources, new and novel sources of resistance must be located. Often soybean accessions with resistance are not readily adapted because they may have agronomically undesirable traits, and the desirable resistance traits need to be transferred to elite germplasm to...
