Compared with standard cultivars, seed of mid-oleic soybean genotypes sometimes have shown increased colonization by Cercospora kikuchii in the field as judged by increased levels of purple-stained seed. To examine relationships between oleic and linoleic acid levels in soybean seed and postharvest seed colonization by two fungal seed pathogens, we inoculated seed with differing oleic:linoleic acid (O/L) ratios. Seed with defined O/L ratios were produced by allowing seed development of two isogenic soybean lines to occur in three different air temperature environments. Seed produced in these environments were harvested, individually analyzed for fatty acid composition, and inoculated with mycelium preparations of the fungal seed pathogens C. kikuchii or Diaporthe phaseolorum var. sojae. Fungal biomass of infected seed was quantified by measuring in vitro ergosterol content. For both soybean lines, colonization by C. kikuchii was positively correlated with the O/L ratio (r = 0.55, P &lt; 0.03) and oleic acid content (r = 0.61, P &lt; 0.02), and negatively correlated with linoleic (r = -0.60, P &lt; 0.02) and linolenic (r = -0.58, P &lt; 0.03) acid content. No association was found between the extent of seed colonization by D. phaseolorum and the seed O/L ratio. Our data suggest that the O/L ratio may be related to soybean seed colonization by C. kikuchii, but there is no evidence of a relationship with D. phaseolorum var. sojae colonization.
