Application of in vitro methods to improve soybean resistance to Fusarium solani, the causal agent of sudden death syndrome

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is caused by the soilborne fungus, Fusarium solani. Calli reactions of five soybean cultivars grown on culture medium amended with fungal culture filtrate were compared to the reactions of the same five cultivars inoculated with the fungus under greenhouse conditions. A significant positive correlation was found between sensitivity of calli to the fungal culture filtrates and SDS ratings of inoculated plants. Culture filtrates of F. solani isolates which did not cause SDS of soybean, had significantly lower toxicity to soybean calli than that of SDS-causing isolates.
