Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences researchers successfully
developedGM soybeanplants with improved resistance to soybean cyst
nematode. The results are published in/Transgenic Research/.

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most economically destructive
pathogen affecting soybean production globally. To combat this pathogen,
the researchers produced stable transgenic soybean plants individually
containing the inverted repeats of three SCNgenes(/Hg-rps23, Hg-snb1/,
and/Hg-cpn1/) and assessed their resistance to the pathogen. Results
showed that host-induced silencing of essential SCN genes could enhance
broad-spectrum SCN resistance in stable transgenic soybean plants,
without negative impacts on the agronomic performance.
