Soybean cyst nematode disease, one of the main diseases impacting the production of soybean, is very difficult to control and brings serious economic losses all over the world. Glycinoeclepin A is a chemical pheromone extracted and purified from the dry powder of string bean roots. It can specifically stimulate the hatching of soybean cyst nematodes, with biological activity of 10(-12) g/mL (25 degrees C, aqueous solution). Potentially, glycinoeclepin A can serve as a new type of green biological pesticide for controlling soybean cyst nematode disease. A comprehensive overview on soybean cyst nematode disease, current methods in fighting it, the bioactivity studies on glycinoeclepin A, as well as the progress in the total synthesis and structure-activity relationship of this natural product since its discovery is provided.
