The goals of this project are to identify soil conditions that favor development of SDS root and foliar symptoms and identify F. virguliforme genes that contribute to SDS symptom development. The specific objectives are to: 1) Describe the time course of root and foliar symptom expression under different inoculum levels; 2) Determine the effect of soil temperature and moisture on SDS symptom expression; 3) Isolate NRPS and PKS genes from F. virguliforme; and 4) Identify F. virguliforme and soybean genes that are expressed at high densities during infection of soybean. Objectives 1 and 2 are being conducted at ISU and Objectives 3 and 4 are being conducted at the University of Georgia....
