Notes:
a S (susceptible) ≥ susceptible check > MR (moderately resistant) > resistant check ≥ R (resistant). There was no MR for M. incognita eggs/g root since the susceptible check and resistant check were not significantly different. Rating was determined by the results from two tests for each of M. incognita and R. reniformis.
b MS = moderately susceptible to H. glycines HG 0 (Wen et al., 2017).
d Eggs per gram root was determined as the total number of eggs extracted from roots per gram of fresh roots 8 weeks after inoculation. The gall index was determined by the extent of root galling comparing with the root-knot rating chart 8 weeks after inoculation (Bridge and Page, 1980).
e Nematodes per gram of root for R. reniformis was determined as the total number of eggs and vermiform nematodes from the roots and soil per gram of fresh roots 10 weeks after inoculation.
f Nematodes per gram of root for P. penetrans was determined as the total number of vermiform nematodes from the roots per gram of fresh roots 6 days after inoculation.
h IM = Immune response to isolate MAL19 (Herman et al., 2020).
