Resistance of new soybean varieties to Soybean Mosaic Virus (SMV) were evaluated during the period from 2003 to 2005 in Jilin province. The level of resistance of these varieties to SMV was as follows: varieties growing in Siping > varieties growing in Changchun > varieties growing in Jilin or Baicheng > varieties growing in Tonghua. Varieties growing in Siping and Changchun were more resistant than those growing in other areas. Most of these varieties expressed resistance to low virulence strains of SMV, some resistant to moderate virulence strains and fewer varieties resistant to strong virulence strains. These results indicated that low virulence strains of SMV were dominant in Jilin province, accompanied by some moderate virulence strains of SMV.
