Plant parasitic nematodes are a major yield-limiting factor of soybean in the United States and Canada. It has been indicated that soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) and reniform nematode (RN, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford and Oliveira) resistance could be genetically related. For many years fragmentary data has shown this relationship. This report evaluates RN reproduction on 418 plant introductions (PIs) selected from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection with reported SCN resistance. The germplasm was divided into two tests of 214 PIs reported as resistant, and 204 PIs moderately resistant to SCN. The defining and reporting of RN resistance changed several times in the last 30 years, causing inconsistencies in RN resistance classification among multiple experiments. Comparison of four RN resistance classification methods was performed: (1) ≤10% as compared to the susceptible check, (2) using normalized reproduction index (RI) values, and transformed data (3) log10 (x) and (4) log10 (x+1), in an optimal univariate k-means clustering analysis. The method of transformed data log10 (x) was selected as the most accurate for classification of RN resistance. Among 418 PIs with reported SCN resistance, the log10 (x) method grouped 59 PIs (15%) as resistant, and 130 PIs (31%) as moderately resistant to RN. Genotyping of a subset of the most resistant PIs to both nematode species revealed their strong correlation with rhg1-a allele. This research identified genotypes with resistance to two nematode species and potential new sources of RN resistance that could be valuable to breeders in developing resistant cultivars.

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines; HG) is a widely occurring and damaging pathogen that limits soybean production. Developing resistant cultivars is the most cost-effective method for managing this disease. Genes conferring SCN resistance in soybean have been identified; however, there are SCN populations that overcome known resistance genes. In order to identify additional sources of resistance and potentially new resistance genes, 223 plant introductions (PIs) of G. tomentella and 59 PIs of 12 other perennial Glycine species were inoculated with HG Types 0, HG 2, and HG 1.2.3, and then 36 PIs out of this set were further evaluated with HG Type 1.2.3.4.5.6.7, a population that overcomes all the resistance genes in soybean. Of 223 G. tomentella PIs evaluated, 86 were classified as resistant to three HG types, 69 as resistant to two HG types, and 22 as resistant to one HG type. Of the other 12 perennial Glycine species, all PIs of G. argyrea and G. pescadrensis were resistant to all three HG types. Of the 36 PIs challenged with HG Type 1.2.3.4.5.6.7, 35 were resistant with 16 showing no cyst reproduction. Our study confirms that there are high levels of resistance to SCN among the perennial Glycine species. This represents an untapped resource for use in genetic studies and for improving resistance to SCN in soybean.

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe; HG) is one of the most destructive pests of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in the United States. Over 100 SCN-resistant accessions within the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection have been identified, but little is known about the genetic diversity of this SCN-resistant germplasm. The objective of this research was to evaluate the genetic variation and determine the genetic relationships among SCN-resistant accessions. One hundred twenty-two genotypes were evaluated by 85 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from 20 linkage groups. Non-hierarchical (VARCLUS) and hierarchical (Ward's) clustering were combined with multidimensional scaling (MDS) to determine relationships among tested lines. The 85 SSR markers produced 566 allelic fragments with a mean polymorphic information content (PIC) value of 0.35. The 122 lines were grouped into 7 clusters by 2 different clustering methods and the MDS results consistently corresponded to the assigned clusters. Assigned clusters were dominated by genotypes that possess one or more unique SCN resistance genes and were associated with geographical origins. The results of analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that the variation differences among clusters and individual lines were significant, but the differences among individuals within clusters were not significant.Key words: soybean cyst nematode resistance, genetic diversity, SSR markers, cluster analysis, soybean.

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) Heterodera glycines is the most economically important pathogen of soybean, capable of causing large scale yield loss on a global scale. Current management practices utilize host resistance, but commercial resistance is limited to three main sources, the soybean plant introductions (PI) 54802 (Peking), 88788, and 437654. More than 95% of soybean grown in the north central United States have resistance derived from PI 88788 and repeated use of this resistance has led to the development of highly virulent nematode populations capable of infecting these resistant plants and causing yield losses. In order to identify the mode of inheritance for virulence on the three primary sources of resistance to SCN a controlled crossing study was performed, mating a highly virulent nematode (TN20) with an avirulent nematode (PA3). By monitoring the offspring of this cross it was found that depending on the source of host resistance, virulence is inherited in a dominant or a recessive manner except for virulence on PI 437654, which is likely a multigenic trait dependent on multiple recessive genes. A de novo transcriptome assembly was then generated for SCN and mined for novel stylet-secreted effectors, identifying a new pool of candidates that may play a role in virulence. Finally, a comparative transcriptomic analysis was performed across multiple SCN populations to identify conserved expression patterns and genes associated with virulence. Results from these studies will be used to improve current management practices for SCN and provide new potential targets for improving SCN resistance.
