TL;DR: The results suggest that UW85 may have potential as a biocontrol agent for alfalfa damping-off, thus providing an alternative to current disease control strategies.

TL;DR: The identification of Quantitative trait loci (QTL) involved in the resistance to S. sclerotiorum in two segregating populations of DH lines is reported and suggests that QTL in the N12.N2 HNRT enhanced the resistance of Hua dbl2 by increasing the dosage of resistance genes.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the introduced A. glycines can be an efficient vector of SMV, but a less efficientvector of AMV, in the North Central region, and may increase SMV and AMV incidence.

TL;DR: Results indicate that genes encoding various proteins involved in diverse roles, particularly WRKY transcription factors and plant cell wall related proteins may play an important role in the defense response to S. sclerotiorum disease.

TL;DR: When disease incidence was high, no consistent control of Sclerotinia stem rot was observed with benomyl or thiophanate methyl using different application systems, however, under low disease incidence, spray systems that were able to penetrate the canopy reduced the incidence of Sclerosis sclerotiorum.
