Rps gene discovery in soybean
Effective management of Phytophthora root rot in soybean is compromised by the rapid loss of efficacy of the most widely deployed resistance genes to Phytophthora sojae (Rps). However, while some genes such as Rps3a and Rps6 still offer a strong protection, they are nonetheless rare in elite material, probably owing to the fact that they have never been properly characterized
