New SCN-Resistant Soybean Variety SYNGENTA SHARING SEED WITH RESEARCHERS FOR FURTHERTESTING

摘要

Anew soybean variety-with resistance to soybean cyst nematode(SCN)derived from the breeding line PI 89772-is being released by Syngen-ta in small quantities in 2020.Syngenta is sharing seed with university researchers and farm cooperators in 2020,and a full commercial launch is coming next year.According to Melissa Mitchum,molecular nematologist at the University of Georgia and co-leader of The SCN Coalition,"We're excited about a new soybean variety with a source of SCN resistance derived from breeding lines other than PI 88788 and Peking."If the new variety has the right combination of resistance genes,it could offer a novel mode of action that shifts SCN populations in a different direction than the PI 88788 breeding line and possibly the Peking breeding line,too."
