Soybean aphid resistance loci: SyngentaRecent Research Landscape

Pathogen-driven yield loss creates significant economic risk for growers, which is mitigated through the targeted engineering of specific genetic loci to enhance innate immunity. Precise manipulation of these genomic regions allows for the development of cultivars that maintain high productivity under high disease pressure.

What technical problems is Syngenta addressing in Soybean aphid resistance loci?

Crop yield loss from infestation

(12)evidences

Soybean crops suffer from significant biomass and yield reduction due to aphid infestation and pathogen susceptibility. Identifying specific loci addresses the inherent biological vulnerability of the plant to environmental stressors.

Crop susceptibility to pathogens

(7)evidences

Uncontrolled crop loss due to evolving pathogen virulence and the inability to identify susceptible plant genotypes. Accurate diagnostics prevent yield instability and catastrophic infestation.
