Tracking the soybean cyst nematode path to the United States
University of Illinois professor Greg Noel and colleague Zonglin Liu trace the soybean cyst nematode origin to Japan with Chinese samples supporting a founder effect. They contend American nematodes arose from Japanese sources after early imports, with postwar farming practices enabling spread and crop losses near 280 million dollars annually.

Winter-damaged wheat leaves Kentucky growers torn between options
In Kentucky a frost damaged January and February wheat could total about 7 million bushels and $20 million in losses. Growers weigh whether to salvage partial yields or switch to corn or soybeans, fearing disease and rotation constraints. UK agronomists estimate 25 percent of the 1998 crop may be killed, intensifying the tough decision.

Predators Target Grain Crops Through Plant Chitinase Defense
Kansas State University researchers seek to fortify wheat, rice and sorghum with chitinase to deter insects and fungi. By boosting this enzyme, fortified crops would digest predators’ exoskeletons or cell walls, creating predator-resistant grain. The work aims to establish proper chitinase levels to enable durable, pest resistant crops.
