That\u2019s why soybean breeders funded by the checkoff (United Soybean Board and North Central Soybean Research Program) are improving and adding to current genetic sources of SCN resistance and breeding them into high-yielding backgrounds.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Like herbicide resistant weeds, the SCN organism evolves and adapts to eventually overcome the same source of genetic resistance deployed in a field year after year. Consequently, constant use of a single source of resistance (such as the PI 88788 source) will eventually wear thin, if not improved upon or rotated with other unique sources.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Expanding the sources of SCN resistance hasn\u2019t always been easy. Public soybean breeders have spent years working with SCN resistance breeding lines other than PI 88788, which is the source of resistance used in 95 percent of commercially available SCN-resistant varieties. Unfortunately, breeding resistance genes from those other sources \u2014 such as PI 548402 (Peking), PI 90763 and PI 437654 (Hartwig) \u2014 into elite varieties has been challenging.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWith these unique resistance sources, you start with low-yielding backgrounds,\u201d said Brian Diers, plant breeder at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. \u201cIt takes time to breed resistance from these new sources into elite genetic backgrounds.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>That\u2019s partly why the PI 88788 source of resistance has been over-used.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s worked really well, and breeders have been successful at incorporating it into high-yielding varieties,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been more difficult and taken longer to get yield parity with other sources of resistance, but we\u2019re solving that problem.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Improving peking<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Another reason PI 88788 has been easy to work with: The resistance involves one major gene, Rhg1, whereas Peking resistance involves two genes, Rhg1 and Rhg4. Simply put, it\u2019s harder for breeders to work with two genes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cBut as you continue cycles of breeding, you are able to incorporate these genes more readily into elite, high-yielding lines. Breeders have been working on this for a long time,\u201d Diers said. \u201cImproved breeding technology is another factor. We have better genetic markers to select the genes we need, so we can develop varieties more quickly.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Soybean growers, particularly in the Midwest, should be able to find more soybean varieties than ever with the Peking source of resistance. According to Diers, \u201cIf you can, rotate the sources of resistance you use. We have a large amount of evidence showing that this reduces selection pressure on SCN populations to continually adapt.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Reintroducing PI 437654<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Breeders at several universities have been developing cultivars with the PI 437654 resistance source. The first variety released with this source of resistance was Hartwig, which was released in 1992. Breeders have continued to breed with resistance from this source and are now obtaining good yields.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cOur program has released two high-yielding lines with PI 437654 resistance, which were commercialized by companies through licenses from the university,\u201d Diers said. \u201cGeorge Graef, a plant breeder at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has recently developed top-yielding lines with PI 437654 resistance.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Genetic resistance stacks<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In addition, Diers\u2019 team recently released a variety with a three-gene stack that contains two new resistance genes from wild soybean (Glycine soja) that have proven very effective when bred into commercial soybean varieties. \u201cWe combined the two resistance genes from wild soybean with Rhg1 from PI 88788 and have shown that this combination gives greater resistance than Rhg1 alone,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Diers has also developed a four-gene stack \u2014 the two new resistance genes from wild soybean, stacked with Rhg1 from PI 88788 plus another resistance gene from PI 567516C. \u201cIf you look in the literature, there are many SCN resistance genes that have been mapped,\u201d he said. \u201cWe worked on the gene from PI 567516C because it can give a greater increase in resistance than most other genes mapped.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Not all PI 88788 varieties are created equal<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For growers battling aggressive nematode populations who only have access to varieties with PI 88788 resistance should rotate varieties.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cNot all PI 88788 varieties are created equal,\u201d Diers said. \u201cVarieties derived from PI 88788 resistance do not all have the same level of resistance and this may be related to the number of copies of the Rhg1 gene. There are normally 10 copies of the Rhg1 gene in varieties with PI 88788 resistance, but some may have fewer copies. With PI 88788, the higher the copy number the higher the resistance.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ideally, soybean growers in all regions will soon have choices of genetic resistance to SCN besides PI 88788.
