Virulence genes in Heterodera glycines: Allele frequencies and ror gene groups among field isolates and inbred lines

PHYTOPATHOLOGY, 95(2), 186–191.

By: K. Dong*, K. Barker* & C. Opperman*

By: D. Marin*, K. Barker n, D. Kaplan*, T. Sutton* & C. Opperman n

author keywords: Cavendish; Musa AAA; nematode resistance
TL;DR: Assessments of total-root necrosis associated with this pathogen were comparable between greenhouse and field conditions, however, nematode effects on the roots were more severe in the greenhouse test than in the field, and root necrosis was relatively high in the two resistant cultivars tested in a greenhouse trial.
