Tr. Anderson et al., INCIDENCE OF POD AND SEED INFECTION IN 2 SOYBEAN LINES DIFFERING IN RESISTANCE TO PHOMOPSIS SEED DECAY, Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 75(2), 1995, pp. 543-545
Two soybean (Glycine mar) lines differing in resistance to Phomopsis s
eed decay were evaluated in field trials, over 3 yr, for time and inci
dence of pod and seed infection caused by Phomopsis longicolla, Diapor
the phaseolorum var. caulivora and D. p. var. sojae. Pod infection inc
reased linearly with time but OX615 averaged 15% less than Coles at ea
ch sample date. Seed infection increased curvilinearly in conjunction
with decreasing seed moisture with marked increases between the fifth
and seventh weeks after flowering. At maturity, average seed infection
was 69% in Coles and 28% in OX615.
