Analysis of Soybean Cyst Nematode Diseases

Soybean is the most cultivated legume crop in the world. It is the source of high-quality plant oil and the main source of edible and feeding protein. Soybean cyst nematode disease is a major disease threatening the production safety of major soybean producing areas worldwide. It was first discovered in China, and now it has occurred in the United States, Japan, Korea, Egypt, Colombia, Canada, and other regions. The occurrence of soybean cyst nematode diseases can lead to soybean yield reduction; the yield reduction is 10%-20% in the year of average growth degree, the yield reduction is 30%-50% in the year of severe occurrence degree, and some even no grain harvest.

Lifeasible provides analysis of soybean cyst nematode diseases to help our customers worldwide in the field of plant science. Our platform is equipped with cutting-edge facilities and professional experts to support research. Here, we provide various services according to customers' demands.

Pathogen Analysis of Soybean Cyst Nematode Diseases

• Soybean cyst nematodes (Heterodera glycines) are soil-borne nematodes characterized by heavy damage, wide distribution, diverse transmission routes, and host types. Soybean cyst nematode diseases can occur throughout the development stage of the soybean.

• Lifeasible provides nematode identification services, including morphological and molecular identification. We also provide identification of pathogen morphology of soybean cysts nematodes, including eggs, first instar larvae, second instar larvae, third instar larvae, and fourth instar larvae.
• In addition, we provide an analysis of nematode life habits, including living temperature, humidity, soil texture, soil fertility, farming methods, etc. Studies on pathogenic variation and chemotaxis in soybean cyst nematodes are also on our list of services.

Analysis of Infection Characteristics in the Field

• It is critical for effective control of soybean cyst nematode disease to know the causes of its occurrence. The main wintering ground of soybean cyst nematodes is soil, which exists in the form of sporocysts. If the soil has sporocysts, mixed with seeds can become a primary source of infection.
• We provide analysis of the pathogenesis pathway, such as suitable soil conditions, climate temperature, and humidity, nematode population dynamics in soil, population dynamics in root tissue, generation cycle comparison and host suitability analysis, and so on.

Analysis of Biochemical Mechanism

We help our clients analyze the biochemical mechanism of soybean cyst nematode diseases, such as amino acid-related analyses, including phenyl proline amino acid, antioxidant reductase, etc. In addition, we provide an analysis of secondary metabolites, including total phenols, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, flavonoids, lignin, etc.

Lifeasible provides cost-effect, high quality, and hassle-free services to our clients worldwide. We provide our clients with direct access to our experts and prompt responses to their inquiries.
