Zusammenfassung:Sclerotinia sclerotiorum population variability directly affects Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) resistance breeding programs. In the north-central United States, however, soybean germplasm selection has often involved only a single isolate. Forty-four S. sclerotiorum isolates from Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Poland, and across 11 different host species were evaluated for variation in isolate in vitro growth, in vitro oxalate production, and in planta aggressiveness on the susceptible soybean 'Williams 82'. Significant differences (P < 0.0001) were detected in isolate in planta aggressiveness, in vitro growth, and in vitro oxalate production. Furthermore, diverse isolate characteristics were observed within all hosts and locations of collection. Aggressiveness was not correlated to colony growth and was only weakly correlated (r = 0.26, P < 0.0001) to isolate oxalate production. In addition, the host or location of collection did not explain isolate aggressiveness. Isolate oxalic acid production, however, may be partially explained by the host (P < 0.05) and location (P < 0.01) of collection. Using a representative subset of nine S. sclerotiorum isolates and soybean genotypes exhibiting susceptible or resistant responses (determined using a single isolate), a significant interaction (P = 0.04) was detected between isolates and genotypes when SSR severity was evaluated. Our findings suggest that screening of S. sclerotiorum-resistant soybean germplasm should be performed with multiple isolates to account for the overall diversity of S. sclerotiorum isolates found throughout the soybean-growing regions of the United States
