“…Changes in transcript abundance in soybean cultivars with different levels of partial resistance to P. sojae were examined in two previous microarray experiments (“eight cultivar” and “four cultivar;” Tyler et al, 2007; Waller et al, 2007; Zhou et al, 2009). In the eight cultivar experiment, eight soybean genotypes were sampled at 3 and 5 DAI, Conrad, ‘Athow’, V71‐370, and ‘General’ with high levels of partial resistance; ‘Williams’ and PI291327 with moderate levels of partial resistance; ‘Sloan’ with a low level of partial resistance; and OX20‐8 which is highly susceptible to P. sojae (Tyler et al, 2007). In the four cultivar experiment, Conrad, V71‐370, Sloan, and the susceptible recombinant inbred line, VP‐RIL9, from the cross of V71‐370 by PI 407162, were examined for changes in transcript abundance at 1, 2, 3, and 5 DAI (Waller et al, 2007).…”
