Abstract excerpt
Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary is a serious fungal disease of soybean. Senescing petals provide a starting nutrient source for the invasion of healthy tissue by the advancing oxalic acid secreting fungal hyphae. Since oxalic acid is a major pathogenicity factor of SSR, transgenic soybean capable of degrading oxalic acid may be resistant to the pathogen. Transgenic soyb...
