Descripción
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is increasingly playing an important nutritive role in the food and feed industry in most developing countries. However the crop is currently threatened by Soybean rust disease (SRD) caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi. This review provides general information on soybean rust, worldwide disease threats and case studies of widely used resistance breeding approaches. Currently, soybean rust is known to have spread from Asia to most developing countries in Africa and South Amer ica through continental movement of urediniospores.
