Brief Project Summary:

This program is an ongoing project within the James R. Alfano laboratory at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln. Tom Elmo Clemente will serve as the PI on this project due to the passing of Dr. Alfano on November 21, 2019. This will be the final year of the project.

Improving soybean resistance to biotic stress is a strategy to protect yield. To accomplish biotic resistance requires an understanding of the mechanism underlying the resistance trait. Additionally, insight into how microbial pathogens successfully breach the plant’s innate immunity to pests, will aid in our ability to design genetic resistance strategies. Given pathogens have co-evolved with their host plants they circumvent...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The activities associated with objectives 1 and 2 are expected to be conducted through the summer 2021, and into the Fall/ winter of 2022, with follow up field trials in the summer of 2022. With objective 3 ongoing through the summer of 2022.

Results and potential intellectual property rights derived from this research will be communicated to the Nebraska Soybean Board. The data ultimately will be communicated through national and international meetings and published in refereed journals.

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
