Evaluation of Short-Season Soybean Genotypes for Resistance and Partial Resistance to Phytophthora sojae

ABSTRACT: Phytophthora root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae Kaufmann and Gerdemann is a soil-borne disease severely affecting soybean production worldwide. Losses caused by P. sojae can be controlled by both major genes and quantitative trait locus. Here, we tested 112 short-season soybean cultivars from Northeast China for resistance to P. sojae. A total of 58 germplasms were resistant to 7–11 P. sojae strains. Among these, Mengdou 28 and Kejiao 10-262 may harbor either Rps3a or multiple Rps genes conferring resistance to P. sojae. The remaining 110 germplasms produced 91 reaction types and may contain new resistance genes or gene combinations. Partial resistance evaluation using the inoculum layer method revealed that 34 soybean germplasms had high partial resistance, with a mean disease
