“…Therefore, breeding for multiple traits should be adopted to obtain complete resistance to white mold. Recent studies suggested that candidate genes that were related to the plant-pathogen interaction pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, and callose deposition in the cell wall may play important roles in white mold resistance (Antwi-Boasiako et al 2021;Zhang et al 2021b).…”

Soybean has been widely grown by Canadian farmers for more than 80 years, especially in Southern Ontario. In recent decades, the Canadian growing region has and expandingexpanded east and north Canada in recent decades. An average of 1% soybean yield improvement is achieved annually, thanks to efforts by public and private soybean breeding programs. However, in order to meet future food demands, an average 2.4% annual increase in soybean yield is required annually. As sSoybean breeders are mostly dealing with complex traits that are under control by several intrinsic and extrinsic factors, it is necessary to haveso sufficient information about the past and current breeding efforts is required to modify the future breeding programs accordingly. Here, we focused onreview public soybean breeding efforts that have been made inover the past 25 years in Southern Ontario, as one of the most productive regions for Canadian soybean growers. Furthermore, we explain how the recent advances could facilitate the soybean breeding programs by reducing the time and cost and increasing selection accuracy in a large breeding population. Finally, we summarize future directions in three important sections, i.e., multi-omics, environmental, and data-driven approaches, and provide a view vision for future soybean breeding programs.

“…Legumes are not spared the negative consequences of Sclerotinia disease. It is known for causing disease among legumes such as groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), soybean (Glycine max L.), common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), faba bean (Vicia faba L.), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), and lupin (Lupinus albus L.) [64,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74]. These common legumes are known as grain or food legumes [75].…”

“…Unfortunately, a low level of resistance is exhibited by legumes to S. sclerotiorum. For instance, in soybeans, a total of 285 out of 8596 lines were identified as resistant [74], whereas 12 accessions out of 519 common bean germplasm were resistant [141]. Molecular markers have aided in identifying legumes exhibiting partial resistance [141,142].…”

Legumes are essential foods for man and animal. They contribute to food security globally. However, they are negatively affected by Sclerotinia diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which infects over 600 plant species. There is a limited number of review studies on the management of the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum disease in legume crops. Here, we explore earlier studies on the occurrences, yield losses, and other negative effects caused by Sclerotinia spp. in legumes. Additionally, we studied the various strategies used in controlling Sclerotinia sclerotiorum diseases in legume crops. We conclude that the impact of Sclerotinia diseases on legume crops causes an economic loss, as it reduces their quality and yield. Among the management strategies explored, genetic control is challenging due to the limited resistance among germplasm, while biological agents show promising results. Fungicide application is effective during outbreaks of Sclerotinia diseases. Lastly, this review has uncovered gaps in the current knowledge regarding the alleviation of Sclerotinia diseases in legume crops.

“…White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary, is a devastating soybean disease that can cause yield reductions of up to 60% worldwide [1]. This pathogen forms overwintering structures known as sclerotia, which can either germinate directly to produce mycelium and infect nearby plants or develop into apothecia, releasing ascospores that have the potential to infect a multitude of plants within a radius of 100 m [2].…”

The integration of management methods for both diseases and weeds depends on the compatibility between the tools. Biological control represents an important strategy to cope with the integrated management of white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) through parasitism of sclerotia. However, its application in the field is more cost-effective if combined with the herbicide in a tank mix, as long as the products are compatible. Therefore, we aimed at (i) evaluating two compatibility test methodologies (constant exposure and different times) and (ii) two soybean crop seasons to infer the compatibility of Trichoderma-based products. In vitro bioassays were performed to assess the compatibility between herbicides (Haloxifope-p- methyl, Glyphosate N-ammonium salt, Fluasifope-p-butyl, Fomesafem, Chlorimuron ethyl and Imazapyc + Imazapyr) and two biocontrol agents (Trichoderma asperellum and Trichoderma harzianum). Thus, the recommended spray volume for each herbicide was added to the PDA culture medium (Potato-Dextrose-Agar) and then deposited in the center of the plate a disc of mycelium from each antagonist isolate (constant exposure). The tests with time of exposure were marked at times 0, 2, 4, 8 and 16 h (simulating tank mixing) and at the spp of each time were plated on PDA medium. For both tests, the mycelial growth and conidiogenesis of Trichoderma spp. were observed. The combination of herbicide and biocontrol was also tested in the field and sclerotia parasitism, white mold incidence and plant yield were assessed in two field trials. The constant exposure of the antagonists to herbicides revealed that no herbicide was compatible with the T. asperellum or T. harzianum. While in test, exposure time exhibited compatibility with either T. asperellum or T. harzianum, within a period of 2 to 8 h. Conclusively, the integration of biocontrol agents with the herbicide imazapique + imazapyr exhibited significant reductions in white mold disease incidence and conidia germination, along with effective parasitism of S. sclerotiorum and even the least compatible herbicide (glyphosate) resulted in significant reduction in the disease incidence and sustained yield when compared to the untreated control. Therefore, the integration of the biocontrol agent for white mold should always be considered, and the tank mixing of it with the herbicide represents a cost-effective alternative for the grower.
