Plant pathogens historically called fungi include organisms belonging to the kingdom Mycota (true fungi) and those belonging to the kingdom Stramenopila (oomycetes). As a result of convergent evolution, true fungi and oomycetes evolved similar structures and physiological strategies for overcoming plant defense responses and causing disease. Therefore, the two groups of pathogens will be discussed together in this chapter. Diseases caused by fungal and oomycete pathogens account for approximately 50% of all soybean disease losses in the US and around the world (Wrather et al. 2001a, 2003; Wrather and Koenning 2006). Of these, the economically most important are root and stem rot caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae, sudden death syndrome caused by Fusarium virguliforme (syn. Fusarium solani f. sp. glycines), and charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Wrather et al. 2001a, 2003; Wrather and Koenning 2006). Soybean rust caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi causes severe soybean yield losses in Asia, and is also a problem in Africa, South America and Hawaii (Miles et al. 2003). The pathogen recently reached the USA mainland, but has not yet caused significant losses, although projections suggest that losses in the USA could exceed 50% in southern states and 10% elsewhere if the pathogen becomes well established (Kuchler et al. 1984). Diaporthe phaseolorum var sojae (Pod and stem blight; Phomopsis seed rot), Phialophora gregata (brown stem rot) and Fusarium oxysporum (Fusarium root rot) also cause significant yield reduction in soybean (Wrather et al. 2001a, 2003; Wrather and Koenning 2006). Most of these fungal and oomycete diseases are refractory to fungicide control, because they are soil-borne. Therefore, control relies heavily on cultural practices
