Abstract
We propose a new mathematical model based on differential equations to investigate the transmission and spread of frogeye leaf spot, a major soybean disease caused by the fungus Cercospora sojina. The model incorporates the primary and secondary transmission routes of the disease as well as the intrinsic dynamics of the pathogen in the contaminated soil. We conduct detailed equilibrium and stability analyses for this model using theories of dynamical systems. We additionally conduct numerical simulations to verify the analytical predictions and to implement the model for a practical application.

Abstract
Frogeye leaf spot is a yield-reducing disease of soybean caused by the pathogen Cercospora sojina. Rcs3 has provided durable resistance to all known races of C. sojina since its discovery in the cultivar Davis during the 1980s. Using a recombinant inbred line population derived from a cross between Davis and the susceptible cultivar Forrest, Rcs3 was fine-mapped to a 1.15 Mb interval on chromosome 16. This single locus was confirmed by tracing Rcs3 in resistant and susceptible progeny derived from Davis, as well as three near-isogenic lines. Haplotype analysis in the ancestors of Davis indicated that Davis has the same haplotype at the Rcs3 locus as susceptible cultivars in its paternal lineage. On the basis of these results, it is hypothesized that the resistance allele in Davis resulted from a mutation of a susceptibility allele. Tightly linked SNP markers at the Rcs3 locus identified in this research can be used for effective marker-assisted selection.

Genome-wide association study reveals novel loci and a candidate gene for resistance to frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora sojina) in soybean. Mol Genet Genomics 2023; 298:441-454.

Abstract
Frogeye leaf spot, caused by the fungus Cercospora sojina, is a threat to soybeans in the southeastern and midwestern United States that can be controlled by crop genetic resistance. Limited genetic resistance to the disease has been reported, and only three sources of resistance have been used in modern soybean breeding. To discover novel sources and identify the genomic locations of resistance that could be used in soybean breeding, a GWAS was conducted using a panel of 329 soybean accessions selected to maximize genetic diversity. Accessions were phenotyped using a 1-5 visual rating and by using image analysis to count lesion number and measure the percent of leaf area diseased. Eight novel loci on eight chromosomes were identified for three traits utilizing the FarmCPU or BLINK models, of which a locus on chromosome 11 was highly significant across all model-trait combinations. KASP markers were designed using the SoySNP50K Beadchip and variant information from 65 of the accessions that have been sequenced to target SNPs in the gene model Glyma.11g230400, a LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASE. The association of a KASP marker, GSM990, designed to detect a missense mutation in the gene was the most significant with all three traits in a genome-wide association, and the marker may be useful to select for resistance to frogeye leaf spot in soybean breeding.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE This review provides a comprehensive atlas of QTLs, genes, and alleles conferring resistance to 28 important diseases in all major soybean production regions in the world. Breeding disease-resistant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties is a common goal for soybean breeding programs to ensure the sustainability and growth of soybean production worldwide. However, due to global climate change, soybean breeders are facing strong challenges to defeat diseases. Marker-assisted selection and genomic selection have been demonstrated to be successful methods in quickly integrating vertical resistance or horizontal resistance into improved soybean varieties, where vertical resistance refers to R genes and major effect QTLs, and horizontal resistance is a combination of major and minor effect genes or QTLs. This review summarized more than 800 resistant loci/alleles and their tightly linked markers for 28 soybean diseases worldwide, caused by nematodes, oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The major breakthroughs in the discovery of disease resistance gene atlas of soybean were also emphasized which include: (1) identification and characterization of vertical resistance genes reside rhg1 and Rhg4 for soybean cyst nematode, and exploration of the underlying regulation mechanisms through copy number variation and (2) map-based cloning and characterization of Rps11 conferring resistance to 80% isolates of Phytophthora sojae across the USA. In this review, we also highlight the validated QTLs in overlapping genomic regions from at least two studies and applied a consistent naming nomenclature for these QTLs. Our review provides a comprehensive summary of important resistant genes/QTLs and can be used as a toolbox for soybean improvement. Finally, the summarized genetic knowledge sheds light on future directions of accelerated soybean breeding and translational genomics studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frogeye leaf spot is a disease of soybean, and there are limited sources of crop genetic resistance. Accurate quantification of resistance is necessary for the discovery of novel resistance sources, which can be accelerated by using a low-cost and easy-to-use image analysis system to phenotype the disease. The objective herein was to develop an automated image analysis phenotyping pipeline to measure and count frogeye leaf spot lesions on soybean leaves with high precision and resolution while ensuring data integrity. RESULTS The image analysis program developed measures two traits: the percent of diseased leaf area and the number of lesions on a leaf. Percent of diseased leaf area is calculated by dividing the number of diseased pixels by the total number of leaf pixels, which are segmented through a series of color space transformations and pixel value thresholding. Lesion number is determined by counting the number of objects remaining in the image when the lesions are segmented. Automated measurement of the percent of diseased leaf area deviates from the manually measured value by less than 0.05% on average. Automatic lesion counting deviates by an average of 1.6 lesions from the manually counted value. The proposed method is highly correlated with a conventional method using a 1-5 ordinal scale based on a standard area diagram. Input image compression was optimal at a resolution of 1500 × 1000 pixels. At this resolution, the image analysis method proposed can process an image in less than 10 s and is highly concordant with uncompressed images. CONCLUSION Image analysis provides improved resolution over conventional methods of frogeye leaf spot disease phenotyping. This method can improve the precision and resolution of phenotyping frogeye leaf spot, which can be used in genetic mapping to identify QTLs for crop genetic resistance and in breeding efforts for resistance to the disease.

Abstract
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by the fungal pathogen Cercospora sojina K. Hara, is a foliar disease of soybean (Glycine max L. [Merr.]) responsible for yield reductions throughout the major soybean-producing regions of the world. In the United States, management of FLS relies heavily on the use of resistant cultivars and in-season fungicide applications, specifically within the class of quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs), which has resulted in the development of fungicide resistance in many states. In 2018 and 2019, 80 isolates of C. sojina were collected from six counties in Georgia and screened for QoI fungicide resistance using molecular and in vitro assays, with resistant isolates being confirmed from three counties. Additionally, 50 isolates, including a "baseline isolate" with no prior fungicide exposure, were used to determine the percent reduction of mycelial growth to two fungicides, azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin, at six concentrations: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μg ml-1. Mycelial growth observed for resistant isolates varied significantly from both sensitive isolates and baseline isolate for azoxystrobin concentrations of 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01 μg ml-1 and for pyraclostrobin concentrations of 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 μg ml-1. Moreover, 40 isolates were used to evaluate pathogen race on six soybean differential cultivars by assessing susceptible or resistant reactions. Isolate reactions suggested 12 races of C. sojina present in Georgia, 4 of which have not been previously described. Species richness indicators (rarefaction and abundance-based coverage estimators) indicated that within-county C. sojina race numbers were undersampled in this study, suggesting the potential for the presence of either additional undescribed races or known but unaccounted for races in Georgia. However, no isolates were pathogenic on 'Davis', a differential cultivar carrying the Rcs3 resistance allele, suggesting that the gene is still an effective source of resistance in Georgia.

Abstract
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by Cercospora sojina, causes significant damage to soybean in the U.S. One control strategy is the use of quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides. QoI resistant isolates were first reported in Tennessee (TN) in 2010. To investigate the disease dynamics of C. sojina, we collected 437 C. sojina isolates in 2015 from Jackson and Milan, TN and used 40 historical isolates collected from 2006-2009 from TN and ten additional states for comparison. A subset of 186 isolates, including historical isolates, were genotyped for 49 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and the QoI resistance locus, revealing 35 unique genotypes. The genotypes clustered into three groups with two groups containing only sensitive isolates and the remaining group containing all resistant isolates and a dominant clonal lineage of 130 isolates. All 477 C. sojina isolates were genotyped for the QoI locus revealing 344 resistant and 133 sensitive isolates. All isolates collected prior to 2015 were QoI sensitive. Both mating type alleles (MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2) were found in Jackson and Milan, TN and recovered from single lesions suggesting sexual recombination may play a role in the epidemiology of field populations. Analysis of C. sojina isolates using SNP markers proved useful to investigate population diversity and to elaborate on diversity as it relates to QoI resistance and mating type.

Abstract
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by the fungus Cercospora sojina K. Hara, may cause a significant yield loss to soybean growers in regions with a warm and humid climate. Two soybean accessions, PI 594891 and PI 594774, were identified to carry a high level of resistance similar to that conditioned by the Rcs3 gene in 'Davis'. Previously, we reported that the resistance to FLS in these two plant introductions (PIs) was controlled by a novel gene (s) on chromosome 13 that is different from Rcs3. To fine-map the novel FLS resistance gene(s) in these two PIs, F2: 3 seeds from the crosses between PI 594891 and PI 594774, and the FLS susceptible genotype 'Blackhawk' were genotyped with SNP markers that were designed based on the SoySNP50k iSelect BeadChip data to identify recombinant events and locate candidate genes. Analysis of lines possessing key recombination events helped narrow down the FLS-resistance genomic region in PI 594891 from 3.3 Mb to a 72.6 kb region with five annotated genes. The resistance gene in PI 594774 was fine-mapped into a 540 kb region that encompasses the 72.6 kb region found in PI 594891. Sequencing five candidate genes in PI 594891 identified three genes that have several mutations in the promoter, intron, 5', and 3' UTR regions. qPCR analysis showed a difference in expression levels of these genes in both lines compared to Blackhawk in the presence of C. sojina. Based on phenotype, genotype and haplotype analysis results, these two soybean accessions might carry different resistance alleles of the same gene or two different gene(s). The identified SNPs were used to develop Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) assays to detect the resistance alleles on chromosome 13 from the two PIs for marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS) of soybean, caused by Cercospora sojina, has been a problem in the southern United States for many years but has become an increasing problem in the northern United States more recently, causing significant yield losses. This increase in disease severity in the northern United States has been attributed to increased utilization of no-till planting and changes in climate. A field study was conducted at the University of Tennessee, Research and Education Center in Milan, TN from 2007 to 2010 to determine severity in tilled and no-till plots treated with or without fungicide at R3 and R5 growth stages. Three FLS-susceptible cultivars, one each in Maturity Groups III, IV, and V, were treated with pyraclostrobin (Headline) fungicide. Analysis of variance using the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) indicated no significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) in disease severity between tilled and no-till plots without fungicide. Fungicide did not significantly reduce disease under no-till, but did under tilled plots. This is the first study showing that no-till plots did not reduce or enhance the severity of FLS when no fungicide was applied. Fungicide application significantly reduced (P ≤ 0.05) disease severity and AUDPC and increased yield in tilled plots. The yield gains in tilled, fungicide-treated plots ranged from 1 to 17%. When fungicide was applied, disease severity was not reduced as significantly in no-till as in treated tilled plots, suggesting that fungicide programs under a no-till system may require further study to minimize the risk of FLS severity.

Abstract
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS) of soybean, caused by Cercospora sojina, has been a problem in the southern United States for many years and has recently become a greater problem in the northern United States. Cultivars resistant to FLS have been developed for planting in the southern United States and resistance in many of these cultivars is conditioned by the Rcs3 gene. This gene conditions immunity to all known races and isolates of the pathogen. Resistance to C. sojina in soybean genotypes (cultivars and breeding lines) adapted to north-central U.S. production region is unknown. The objectives of this study were to (i) identify maturity group (MG) III, IV, and V soybean genotypes resistant to C. sojina race 11 by field screening at multiple locations over years and (ii) determine whether FLS resistance in these genotypes is likely to be conditioned by the Rcs3 gene. In total, 1,350 genotypes were evaluated for resistance to race 11 in field trials, and 13 MG III, 45 MG IV, and 15 MG V genotypes did not develop symptoms of FLS. Of these, 54 were subsequently tested for the possible presence of Rcs3 using five molecular markers located within 2 centimorgans (cM) of the gene. None of the MG III genotypes tested had the Rcs3 haplotype of cv. Davis, the source of Rcs3; six of the MG IV genotypes and seven of the MG V genotypes had the Rcs3 haplotype. This is the first report of the presence of the Rcs3 haplotype in LN 97-15076 and S99-2281. The soybean genotypes predicted to have the Rcs3 gene and other genotypes with no FLS symptoms in field trials may be useful in developing soybean cultivars with broad resistance to FLS and adapted to the northern United States.
