A new set of soybean accessions from south-central China were added to the USDA germplasm collection in 1996. Previous studies have shown that accessions with high levels of resistance to brown stem rot (BSR) can be found in germplasm collected from central and southern China. The objective of this study was to screen these accessions and identify those with resistance to BSR. In a preliminary study, 85 of 623 accessions tested were identified as resistant to BSR. In the second study, these 85 accessions were challenged with multiple biotypes of Phialophora gregata f. sp. sojae to identify those accessions with the strongest resistance. From these two studies, ten accessions were identified that had BSR resistance equal to or greater than the current resistant sources. Accepted for publication 10 June 2003. Published 1 July 2003.

Soybean accessions from China were screened in an attempt to identify unique sources of resistance to Phialophora gregata, the cause of brown stem rot. In 1994, over 500 accessions from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, were evaluated in the field at Urbana, IL, for reaction to brown stem rot. The accessions originated from nine provinces in central China and ranged in maturity from groups II to IV. Disease assessment was based on incidence of foliar symptoms and severity of stem symptoms produced by infection with natural inoculum. Based on field results, 64 putatively resistant lines were selected and evaluated in the greenhouse by a root-dip inoculation method. Thirteen accessions with levels of resistance equal to those of resistant standards were identified from five provinces. These lines may have value as donors of unique sources of resistance to brown stem rot.

In an effort to identify new sources of resistance to brown stem rot, caused by Phialophora gregata, 829 soybean accessions originating from 14 provinces in central and southern China and ranging in maturity from group IV to group VIII were obtained from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection. All accessions were inoculated in sequential evaluations in the greenhouse with three isolates of P. gregata. Putatively resistant accessions were compared statistically with resistant and susceptible standards. Two hundred forty-one, or approximately 29% of the accessions evaluated, were resistant to all three isolates of P. gregata. The percentage of resistant accessions varied among provinces, with the highest percentages identified in the provinces of Anhui, Gansu, Jiangsu, and Sichuan. Resistance to brown stem rot was not associated with maturity of the accessions or presence of soybean mosaic virus. These resistant accessions could be utilized as sources of brown stem rot resistance through integration of northern and southern soybean germ plasm.

Genetic variation and variation in aggressiveness in Phialophora gregata f. sp. sojae, the cause of brown stem rot of soybean, was characterized in a sample of 209 isolates from the north-central region. The isolates were collected from soybean plants without regard to symptoms from randomly selected soybean fields. Seven genotypes (A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, M1, and M2) were distinguished based on DNA fingerprinting with microsatellite probes (CAT)5 and (CAC)5, with only minor genetic variation within the A or M genotypes. Only the A1, A2, and M1 genotypes were represented by more than one isolate. The A genotypes dominated in the eastern Iowa, Illinois, and Ohio samples, whereas the M genotypes were dominant in samples from western Iowa, Minnesota, and Missouri. In growth chamber experiments, isolates segregated into two pathogenicity groups based on their aggressiveness toward soybean cvs. Kenwood and BSR101, which are relatively susceptible and resistant, respectively, to brown stem rot. In both root dip inoculation and inoculation by injecting spores into the stem near the ground line (stab inoculations), isolates of the A genotypes caused greater foliar symptoms and more vascular discoloration than isolates of the M genotypes on both cultivars of soybean. All isolates caused foliar symptoms in both cultivars and in three additional cultivars of soybean with resistance to brown stem rot. Greater differences between the A and M genotypes were seen in foliar symptoms than in the linear extent of xylem discoloration, and greater differences were seen in Kenwood than in BSR101. Inoculation of these genotypes into five cultivars of soybean with different resistance genes to brown stem rot showed a genotype × cultivar interaction. A similar distinction was found in an earlier study of the adzuki bean pathogen, P. gregata f. sp. adzukicola, and consistent with the nomenclature of that pathogen, the soybean pathogens are named the aggressive race (race A) and the mild race (race M) of P. gregata f. sp. sojae.

A molecular marker was developed to separate and identify subspecific populations of Phialophora gregata, the causal agent of soybean brown stem rot. A variable DNA region in the intergenic spacer of the nuclear rDNA was identified. Two specific primers flanking the variable region were developed for easy identification of the genotypes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These two specific primers amplified three DNA products. The three PCR products were used to separate isolates of P. gregata into distinct genotypes: A (1,020 bp), B (830 bp), and C (660 bp). Genotype C was found in isolates obtained from Adzuki beans from Japan, whereas all 292 isolates obtained from soybean and the 8 isolates from mung bean belonged to either genotype A or B. The original nondefoliating (type II) strain ATCC 11073 (type culture of P. gregata) belonged to genotype B. The difference between genotypes A and B was due only to an 188-bp insertion or deletion; genotype C, however, differs from genotypes A and B at 58 point mutations, in addition to the length difference. Isolates of both genotypes A and B were widespread in seven Midwestern states. Genotype A was found mostly in certain susceptible soybean cultivars like Sturdy and Pioneer 9305, whereas genotype B was found predominately in brown stem rot-resistant soybean cvs. Bell, IA 3003, and Seiben SS282N. The specific primers were also used to directly detect cultivar-preferential infection by the two genotypes in infected soybean stems growing in the same field. Data from direct detection in soybean stems showed that cultivar-preferential infection by the two genotypes of P. gregata was significant.

Growth chamber experiments were conducted to investigate whether parasitism by increasing population densities of Heterodera glycines, the soybean cyst nematode, increases the incidence and severity of stem colonization by the aggressive genotype A and the mild genotype B of Cadophora gregata (Phialophora gregata), causal agents of brown stem rot of soybeans. Soybean genotypes with three combinations of resistance and susceptibility to H. glycines and genotype A of C. gregata were inoculated with each genotype of C. gregata alone or each genotype with two population densities of H. glycines eggs, 1,500 or 10,000 per 100 cm3 of soil. Stems of two H. glycines-susceptible soybeans were more colonized by both aggressive and mild genotypes of C. gregata in the presence of high than in the presence of low H. glycines population density.

A New Species

Nidirana guangxiensissp. nov., a new music frog species, is proposed, based on a series of specimens collected from Mt Daming, Guangxi, southern China. The new species is close to N. yeae, N. daunchina, N. yaoica, and N. chapaensis from southwestern and south-central China and northern Indochina, while the relationships among these species remain unresolved. Nidirana guangxiensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all known congeners by the genetic divergences in the mitochondrial 16S and COI genes, the behavior of nest construction, the advertisement call containing 6–11 rapidly repeated regular notes, and a combination of morphological characteristics. Furthermore, the Nidirana populations recorded in Guangxi are clarified in this work, providing valuable new information on the knowledge of the genus Nidirana.

Brown stem rot, caused by the fungus Phialophora gregata, reduces soybean yield by up to 38%. Although three dominant resistance loci have been identified (Rbs1 to Rbs3), the gene networks responsible for pathogen recognition and defense remain unknown. Further, identification and characterization of resistant and susceptible germplasm remains difficult. We conducted RNA-Seq of infected and mock-infected leaf, stem, and root tissues of a resistant (PI 437970, Rbs3) and susceptible (Corsoy 79) genotype. Combining historical mapping data with genotype expression differences allowed us to identify a cluster of receptor-like proteins that are candidates for the Rbs3 resistance gene. Reads mapping to the Rbs3 locus were used to identify potential novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms within candidate genes that could improve phenotyping and breeding efficiency. Comparing responses to infection revealed little overlap in differential gene expression between genotypes or tissues. Gene networks associated with defense, DNA replication, and iron homeostasis are hallmarks of resistance to P. gregata. This novel research demonstrates the utility of combining contrasting genotypes, gene expression, and classical genetic studies to characterize complex disease resistance loci.

Growth chamber experiments were conducted to investigate whether parasitism by Heterodera glycines, the soybean cyst nematode, increases incidence and severity of brown stem rot (BSR) of soybean, caused by Phialophora gregata, in both resistant and susceptible soybean cultivars. Soybean genotypes with various combinations of resistance and susceptibility to both pathogens were inoculated with P. gregata alone or P. gregata plus H. glycines. In most tests of H. glycines-susceptible genotypes, incidence and severity of internal stem discoloration, characteristic of BSR, was greater in the presence than in the absence of H. glycines, regardless of susceptibility or resistance to BSR. There was less of an increasing effect of H. glycines on stem symptoms in genotypes resistant to both BSR and H. glycines; however, P. gregata colonization of these genotypes was increased. Stems of both a BSR-resistant and a BSR-susceptible genotype were colonized earlier by P. gregata in the presence than in the absence of H. glycines. Our findings indicate that H. glycines can increase the incidence and severity of BSR in soybean regardless of resistance or susceptibility to either pathogen.
