Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) causes a disease of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] that is prevalent throughout the United States. The disease can be effectively managed through the deployment of single-dominant resistance genes known as Rsv genes that confer resistance to different strains of SMV. Pyr...
