Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a persistent threat to soybean production. SCN populations continually overcome resistant cultivars, causing significant yield losses. Studies conducted with a single reference genome restrict our understanding of intraspecific diversity, masking significant mechanisms of virulence evolution and host adaptation. Here we report a pangenome constructed of nine SCN...
