Seasonal Progression and Agronomic Impact of Tobacco streak virus on Soybean in Wisconsin

Plant Disease
P F RabedeauxC R Grau

Abstract

Pod necrosis and dieback of terminal portions of stems, commonly called bud blight, are observed in soybean fields and associated with Tobacco streak virus (TSV), an understudied virus of soybean. Furthermore, many TSV-infected plants are asymptomatic. The objectives of this study were to characterize the distribution and seasonal progress of TSV-infected plants in both natural and controlled epidemics, and the agronomic impact of TSV on soybean in plots with controlled introduction of inoculum. Incidence of TSV-positive samples ranged from 17 to 56% in a general survey. In the presence of natural sources of inoculum, the incidence of TSV-infected plants ranged from 10 to 95% depending on cultivar and location, and peaked at growth stage R2, but detection dropped dramatically at R5. During 2001, significant yield loss and incidence of mottled seed were associated with TSV, but results were confounded by a high incidence of SMV. In 2002, SMV was controlled by cultivar selection, and a 25% reduction in grain yield was attributable to TSV. The incidence of mottled seed and green stem syndrome were low in the presence of TSV. Reductions in plant density and final plant height contributed to reduced yields. However, no significant d...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
