Description

Muhammad Raza and five co-authors hunted the gene behind soybean resistance to two virus strains in a 2024 study. The mosaic virus can wipe out crops, above all when it strikes young plants. Two strains plague central China, and a prized variety resists both.

Crosses with a weak variety showed a single dominant gene at work for each strain. Gene mapping placed the two spots close together on one chromosome, in neighboring blocks. One marker stood out as the strongest signal, pointing to a single candidate gene. Gene silencing and expression tests backed the claim. The work gives breeders a target for stacking durable virus resistance into new soybean lines.
