Seed Co became the first company to come up with SC 709, a single cross variety that was resistant to the GLS. There is limited information about the mode of inheritance for GLS resistance in regionally adapted germplasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Soya Beans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Soybean rust is potentially one of the most significant diseases of soybean. It can spread quickly and cause leaf spots and defoliation of soybean plants. Under favourable conditions, the pathogen can cause yield losses greater than 50%. Soybean rust was first found in the continental United States in the South in 2004. Since then, the disease spread and became a global outbreak. However, Seed Co was again the first to release varieties that are resistant e.g. SC Signal, SC Saxon, and SC Sentinel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maize In 1994 &#8211; 1996 Gray Leaf Spot disease (GLS;
