Incidence of Phomopsis seed decay is frequently high and quality low in seed from early-maturing maturity group III and IV soybean cultivars planted in early to mid-April in the southern United States. Cultivars resistant to this disease have not been available until the recent release of germ plasm lines SS 93-6012 and SS 93-6181. Our objective was to determine the effects of planting dates with these lines and one Phomopsis seed decay-susceptible soybean cultivar, Asgrow 3834, on seed infection by Phomopsis spp. and on yield and the correlation between percentage of Asgrow 3834 infected with Phomopsis spp. and seed quality. Generally, yields averaged over years were significantly greater for mid-April than mid-June plantings, and yields of cultivars were similar within a planting date. Soybean lines SS 93-6012 and SS 93-6181 were highly resistant to Phomopsis seed decay compared with the susceptible cultivar, Asgrow 3834. There was a significant, negative correlation between germination of seed from mid-April plantings of Asgrow 3834 and percentage of these seed infected with Phomopsis spp. Moreover, there were significant correlations between fatty acid composition of Asgrow 3834 seed and the percentage of these seed infected with Phomopsis spp. This altered composition of fatty acids may be responsible for reduced quality of oil derived from seed infected with this fungus. Phomopsis seed decay-resistant soybean lines SS 93-6012 and SS 93-6181 should be useful in breeding programs focused on developing high-yielding cultivars resistant to this disease.

Phomopsis seed decay (PSD), caused by Phomopsis longicolla (syn. Diaporthe longicolla), is an economically important soybean disease causing poor seed quality. Planting resistant cultivars is one of the most effective means to control PSD. In this study, 16 commercially available maturity groups IV and V soybean cultivars, including two previously identified PSD-resistant and two PSD-susceptible checks, were evaluated for seed infection by P. longicolla in inoculated and noninoculated plots, and harvested promptly or with a 2-week delay in harvest. The test was conducted at Stoneville, Mississippi, in 2012 and 2013. Seed infection by P. longicolla ranged from 0.5 to 76%, and seed germination ranged from 18 to 97%. One MG IV cultivar (Morsoy R2 491) and five MG V cultivars (Progeny 5650, Progeny 5706, Asgrow 5606, Asgrow 5831, and Dyna-Gro33C59) had significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower percent seed infected by P. longicolla than their respective susceptible checks and other cultivars in the same tests. Information obtained from this study will be useful for soybean growers and breeders for selection of cultivars for planting or breeding and future genetic studies in the development of cultivars with improved resistance to PSD.

Phomopsis seed decay (PSD) caused by Phomopsis spp. can be severe when soybean seed producers in the southern United States use the early soybean production system (ESPS) to avoid late-July through early-September drought damage to soybean. The usefulness of this production system would be greater if developing seed could be protected from PSD by foliar application of fungicides or by planting Phomopsis spp.-resistant soybean lines. The objective of this research was to determine the affects of the fungicides benomyl and azoxystrobin applied to soybean, at various times, on percent Phomopsis spp. infection of seed in Asgrow 3834, a PSD-susceptible cultivar, and SS93-6012, a PSD-resistant soybean line, planted in mid-April. The percent Phomopsis spp. infection of Asgrow 3834 seed averaged over years was significantly less for the benomyl (0.28 kg a.i. ha-1) applied at R3 + R5 treatment (48.6% seed infection) than the control (52.8% seed infection) and significantly greater for the azoxystrobin (0.17 kg a.i. ha-1) applied at R3 + R5 treatment (61.6% seed infection) than the control (52.8% seed infection). This method of managing PSD will not be acceptable to soybean growers. The percent of Phomopsis spp. infection of Asgrow 3834 seed averaged over years (52.8% seed infection) was significantly greater than for line SS93-6012 (2.8% seed infection). There were no differences in percent Phomopsis spp. infection of SS93-6012 seed between the control (2.8% seed infection) and benomyl treatment (4.0% seed infection). The most effective method for PSD management was to plant a resistant soybean line. Line SS93-6012 will be useful in breeding programs focused on developing high yielding PSD-resistant cultivars.

The effect of planting date on phasic development, LAI, yield, yield determinants and seed quality of soybeans was studied in eight seasons. For all development phases up to the end of flowering, each phase was longer for longer daylengths within a cultivar, with later maturing cultivars having increasing sensitivity to daylength. LAI at flowering for each treatment was a function of time from flowering. The yield of Bragg and indeterminate cultivars (Wayne, Delmar and Ruse) decreased if planted in early November. There was generally a decreased yield at a late January planting due to small plant size (low LAI and few mainstem nodes) and in some instances, decreased seed size. Planting dates in December appeared to be optimum, although season and cultivar differences occurred. Seed oil content decreased and protein content increased as planting was delayed.

Seed-borne diseases of soybeans caused by Phomopsis longicolla (Phomopsis seed decay), Cercospora kukuchii (purple seed stain), and M. phaseolina (charcoal rot) are economically important diseases that affect seed quality. Commercial cultivars marketed as resistant to all three diseases are not available. Reactions of 27 maturity group (MG) III, 30 early MG IV, 33 late MG IV, and 53 MG V genotypes were evaluated for resistance to these pathogens during the 2006 to 2008 growing season in the same field that had been in no-till production, not irrigated, and naturally and artificially infested. There was great variation in seed infection among genotypes and years, indicating the value of screening genotypes over multiple years. Some genotypes were resistant to these pathogens in one, two, or in all three years. Genotypes, DP 3478 (early MG IV), and RO1-769F (MG V) were resistant and DG4460 was moderately resistant to P. longicolla infection across three years. Genotypes AG3705 and FFR3990 (MG III) and DC20300, DC7816, Stoddard, and Ozark (MG V), were resistant to C. kukuchii infection during all three years. Ten genotypes in MG III, eight in early MG IV, seven in late MG IV, and 14 in MG V had no seed infection by M. phaseolina in all three years. These results indicate that seed infection comparison to these pathogens among genotypes should be made over several years, or false conclusions about resistance to any of the three pathogens may be made when disease is assessed for limited period of time. The genotypes identified as having resistance to each or combinations of the seed-borne diseases across the three years could be useful as a source for resistance in improving soybean seed quality.

Phomopsis seed decay (PSD), caused primarily by the fungal pathogen Phomopsis longicolla, is one of the most important diseases reducing seed quality and yield of soybean. Few cultivars have been identified as resistant. To identify new sources of resistance to PSD, 135 soybean germplasm accessions, originating from 28 countries, were field screened in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Missouri in 2009. Based on seed assays of natural field infection by P. longicolla in 2009, 42 lines, including the most resistant and susceptible lines, were reevaluated in the field in 2010, 2011, and 2012 with P. longicolla-inoculated and noninoculated treatments. Six maturity group (MG) III (PI 189891, PI 398697, PI 417361, PI 504481, PI 504488, and PI 88490), four MG IV (PI 158765, PI 235335, PI 346308, and PI 416779), and five MG V (PI 381659, PI 381668, PI 407749, PI 417567, and PI 476920) lines had significantly lower percent seed infection by P. longicolla than the susceptible checks and other lines in the same test (P ≤ 0.05). They appeared to have some levels of resistance to PSD. These new sources of PSD resistance can be used in developing soybean breeding lines or cultivars with resistance to PSD, and for genetic mapping of PSD resistance genes.

Phomopsis seed decay (PSD) of soybean is caused primarily by the fungal pathogen Phomopsis longicolla Hobbs along with other Phomopsis and Diaporthe spp. This disease causes poor seed quality and suppresses yield in most soybean-growing countries. Infected soybean seeds can be symptomless, but are typically shriveled, elongated, cracked, and have a chalky white appearance. Development of PSD is sensitive to environmental conditions. Hot and humid environments favor pathogen growth and disease development. Several control strategies have been used to manage PSD and reduce its impact; however, the use of resistant cultivars is the most effective method for controlling PSD. Efforts have been made to identify sources of PSD resistance in the past decades. At least 28 soybean lines were reported to have certain levels of PSD resistance in certain locations. Inheritance of resistance to PSD has been studied in several soybean lines. In this paper, general information about the disease, the causal agent, an overview of research on evaluation and identification of sources of resistance to PSD, and inheritance of resistance to PSD are presented and discussed.

Phomopsis seed decay is one of the most devastating seed diseases reducing soybean seed quality worldwide. This disease is caused primarily by a seed-borne fungus, Phomopsis longicolla (syn. Diaporthe longicolla). As part of a genome sequencing project for P. longicolla, we present the mitochondrial genome resource of the isolate MSPL 10-6, one of the most aggressive field isolates. The circular mitochondrial genome is 53,646 bp long with GC content of 34.27%, and it encodes 14 common protein genes, 23 tRNA and two rRNA genes, and 10 introns. Forty-five SNPs and InDels also were identified during comparative analyses with another isolate. The mitochondrial genome sequence provides a useful resource for developing molecular markers for pathogen detection and for improvement of control strategies for the disease.

The effect of planting dates on growth and quality of potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.) grown on a wet and cold soil was studied. Ninety days after planting, total yield was higher in plots planted in mid-June than in those planted at the end of May. However, 110 days after planting, yield was higher with the earlier planting dates. Yield at 130 day s after planting was not significantly different from yield at 110 days after planting. Tuber growth ended on 15 Sept. in 1975 and on 30 Sept. in 1974 and 1976. Percentage of tubers 70 mm and more in size was four times higher at 110 than at 90 days after planting for cv. Kennebec at the first planting date. Increase in tuber size was lower for cvs. Norland and Netted Gem and for all other planting dates. In spite of a low increase of specific gravity, chipping quality decreased as harvest was delayed. Percentage of tubers bearing Rhizoctonia sclerote increased as harvesting was delayed.
