| Abstract: | Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) plant introduction PI 438489B is a unique source that has resistance to all known populations of soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, SCN). This PI line also has many desirable agronomic characteristics, which makes it an attractive source of SCN resistance for use in a soybean breeding program. However, characterization of SCN resistance genes in this PI line have not been fully researched. In this study, we investigated the inheritance of resistance to populations of SCN races 1, 2, 3, 5, and 14 in PI 438489B. PI 438489B was crossed to the susceptible cultivar 'Hamilton' to generate F-1 hybrids. The random F-2 plants and F-3 lines were evaluated in the greenhouse for reaction to these five populations of SCN races. Resistance to SCN races 1, 3, and 5 were mostly conditioned by three genes (Rhg Rhg rhg). Resistance to race 2 was controlled by four genes (Rhg rhg rgh rgh). Three recessive genes were most likely involved in giving resistance to race 14. We further concluded that resistance to different populations of SCN races may share some common genes or pleiotropic effects may be involved. |
