Fight-or-flight” is not an option for plants, unfortunately, when it comes to pathogen attacks. Instead, plants opt for “do-or-die.” A deeper insight into the genetic mechanisms that enable plants to ...

"This research not only enhances our understanding of plant defense mechanisms but also opens up new possibilities for breeding soybeans that are naturally more resistant to nematode infections." ...

Soybean growers across the globe face a silent but devastating threat: the soybean cyst nematode (SCN). This microscopic pathogen attacks soybean roots, jeopardizing crop yields and causing more than ...

The result is stunted plants, and often, yellow foliage. SCN infection also can reduce the number of nodules formed by the beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria that are necessary for optimum soybean ...
