Fighting Asian soybean rust
Phakopsora pachyrhizi is a biotrophic fungus provoking Asian soybean rust (SBR) disease. SBR poses a major threat to global soybean production. Though several resistance genes provided soybean immunity to certain P. pachyrhizi races, the pathogen swiftly overcame this resistance. Therefore, fungicid...
