Project name: Glycine max

Description: Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most economically important crops grown in North America and in other regions worldwide. However, the plant is susceptible to a variety of foliar pathogenic microorganisms, some of which represent a significant threat to production. Several molecular and serological approaches are currently available to diagnose plant pathogens, however, all have limitations including their capability to accurately detect co-infections of individual plants. We therefore used 16S and ITS amplicon sequencing to identify the suite of bacterial and fungal organisms infecting 96 soybean leaf samples collected throughout southern Manitoba, Canada at two growing stages (V2/3 and R6).

Data type: raw sequence reads

Sample scope: Monoisolate
