Abstract:
Disease resistance is an important aspect to consider when breeding agronomic crops, due to the cost of pesticides as well as their environmental impact. Cercospora sojina is the causing factor of frogeye leaf spot (FLS) that affects the performance of soybean. In the present study, a recombinant inbred line populations (Forrest x LS07-3131) that developed between a resistant and susceptible parent for FLS resistance was evaluated under field and greenhouse conditions for agronomic performance and reaction to disease, respectively. Data derived from our study will be used to identify associations between significant agronomic traits and FLS resistance as well to select the best lines for further advancement.
