📢 New publication out now! Our latest paper “Differentiating Resistance Levels and Biochemical Responses of Soybean Cultivars Infected by Diverse Diaporthe Species Using Two Inoculation Methods” brings together an international perspective on soybean health 🌍 👉 We evaluated soybean genotypes from Serbia and Germany against multiple Diaporthe species 👉 Compared two inoculation approaches 👉 Combined disease scoring with biochemical analyses Key takeaways: ✔️ Diaporthe caulivora emerged as the most aggressive pathogen ✔️ the cultivar Magnolia stood out with the highest resistance ✔️ biochemical responses were evident, but resistance appears to be complex and multi-layered This cross-country approach highlights how diverse genetic backgrounds respond to important pathogens—and why that matters for breeding and disease management. Proud to be part of this great international collaboration!
