Characterization of Soybean STAY-GREEN Genes in Susceptibility to Foliar Chlorosis of Sudden Death Syndrome

Fusarium virguliforme causes sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean ( Glycine max ) in the United States. This fungal pathogen inhabits soil and produces multiple phytotoxins, which are translocated from infected roots to leaves, causing SDS foliar chlorosis and necrosis ([Hartman et al., 2015][1
