Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Overexpression of nine soybean genes reduced mature cyst nematode female numbers by more than 50%.
- Observation The serine hydroxymethyltransferase gene that reduced cyst nematode females is located at the Rhg4 locus.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of four soybean genes increased mature cyst nematode female numbers by more than 200%.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of thirteen other soybean genes increased mature cyst nematode female numbers by more than 150%.
- Mechanism Auxin and ethylene play a role in soybean susceptibility to cyst nematodes.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of some of these genes causes a greater decrease in cyst numbers than recognized soybean cyst nematode resistance loci.
