Data from: Infestation ratings database for soybean aphid on early-maturity wild soybean lines

<p>Soybean aphid (<em>Aphis glycines</em> Matsumura; SA) is a major invasive pest of soybean [<em>Glycine max</em> (L.) Merr.] in northern production regions of North America. Although insecticides are currently the main method for controlling this pest, SA-resistant cultivars are being developed to sustainably manage SA in the future. The viability of SA-resistant cultivars may depend on identifying a diverse set of resistance genes from screening various germplasm sources, including wild soybean (<em>Glycine soja</em> Siebold and Zucc.), the progenitor of cultivated soybean. Data consisted of infestation ratings generated for a total of 337 distinct plant introduction lines of wild soybean that were exposed to avirulent SA biotype 1 for 14 d in 25 separate tests. Individual plants of the test lines were given a common rating by two researchers, based on a rating scale that progressed from 1=0 to 50, 2=51 to 100, 3=101 to 150, 4=151 to 200, 5=201 to 250, and 6 with >250 SA per test plant. Public dissemination of this dataset will allow for further analyses and evaluation of resistance among the test lines. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Infestation ratings for individual plants of various wild soybean lines.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S2352340917304432-mmc2.xlsx">https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S2352340917304432-mmc2.xlsx</a> </p><p>MS Excel spreadsheet showing infestation ratings for individual plants of 337 distinct plant introduction (PI) wild soybean lines following 14 d of exposure to SA.</p><p>Resource Software Recommended: Microsoft Excel,url: <a href="https://office.microsoft.com/excel/">https://office.microsoft.com/excel/</a> </p></li></ul><p></p>
