Expression and inheritance of resistance to Fusarium solani in soybean

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is caused by the soil borne fungus Fusarium solani (Mart.) Appel & Wollenw. emend. Snyd. & Hans. Symptoms of SDS include root rot, xylem discoloration, foliar chlorosis and interveinal necrosis. Microplot, field and greenhouse experiments were performed to study the development of SDS on soybean, develop a greenhouse inoculation method for F. solani, then study the relationship between the greenhouse and field reactions, and study the inheritance of resistance to F. solani.
