Fig 4. Effect of SCN and BSR fungus infections on fatty acid levels in soybean seeds.

Fig 4

For two seasons (2008 and 2009), soybean plants were challenged with soybean cyst nematode (SCN), the brown stem rot (BSR) fungus, or the two in combination with soybean aphid (SBA). Seeds were then collected at harvest and fatty acid analysis was carried out. Statistical analysis indicated a significant treatment*year*variety interaction only for stearic acid levels. Thus, for 18:0 (C-D), results are shown for both years and varieties separately; for other fatty acids (A, 16:0; B, 18:1; E, 18:2; F, 18:3) the results from both years and varieties were combined. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (p< 0.05) among treatments.
