Agriculture in Brazil has experienced an accelerated growth in the last decades, with emphasis on soybeans, the main commodity currently. Parallel to this, phytosanitary problems have affected the efficiency of the crop production. For soybean, the most important disease is Asia rust (ASR), with billion-dollar losses annually, computing the reduction in grain yield and the control costs. …
The growing global demand for products associated with the soybean complex, the expansion in area cultivated with soybean tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate (Roundup Ready ®) and the advent of Asian soybean rust as a devastating disease in Brazil has increasing the need of soybean elite cultivars with resistance/tolerance to rust and transgenic technology. The objective of this research…
The growing interest in the use of soybean for the production of edible oil and biodiesel, the latter even encouraged by public policies government in Brazil is encouraging the planting of soybean breeding programs for the development of targeted specialized cultivars. The expansion in a planted areas with soybean tolerant to glyphosate herbicide, called Roundup Ready® and the advent of r…

The cost-efficiency for soybean production in Brazil has been challenged since the first occurrence of Asian Soybean Rust disease (ASR) in 2002 and billions of dollars are currently spent in its control. Hence, the aim of this research project is to select soybean elite lines tolerant to ASR from a recurrent selection program and understand genetic aspects behind the tolerance mechanism. …
