Abstract
Studies to determine mode of inheritance of resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, could be influenced by the methods of evaluation in use. Any improvement in growing conditions of the host and pathogen, superior inoculation techniques, inducement of desirable infection in the host with minimum genetic variability in the SCN population could result in optimum expression of full complement of genes conferring resistance to SCN races. Our objective was to determine the mode of inheritance of resistance in Soybean Plant Introduction PI 88.788 for SCN race 4 reaction, using the improved techniques of evaluation.
