and to cause cankers. Many endophytyic fungi cause little apparent<br />

disease in infected plants and only become visible as they fruit on<br />

senescing or <strong>de</strong>ad tissues. The closely related fungus Diaporthe<br />

phaseolorum var. sojae (Dps), the causal agent of pod & stem blight is<br />

a good example. As a corollary to this hypothesis it may be that other<br />

endophytic fungi and/or bacteria build up as resi<strong>de</strong>nt micro-organisms<br />

in continued soybean cultivation and suppress Dpc. Hil<strong>de</strong>brand<br />

(1954) <strong>de</strong>monstrated a higher occurrence of pathogenic Diaporthe in<br />

soybeans grown on soils not previously planted to soybeans than in<br />

plots where soybeans had been grown continuously for four years.<br />

Alternatively, there may be a specialized set of physiological stresses<br />

associated with soybeans in the first rotation that trigger Dpc to<br />

become actively pathogenic. At this point, these concepts are purely<br />

speculative and much work will be required to test them. It is clear<br />

that a standard mo<strong>de</strong>l of a residue born stem disease will not suffice<br />

to explain the occurrence of Northern stem canker in soybeans in the<br />

North Central region of the United States.<br />
