Brief Project Summary:

With the knowledge that different biotypes of SBA have been identified with each biotype showing the ability to overcome different SBA resistant genes, it is obvious to provide resistance to multiple SBA biotypes, we need to stack resistance in future varieties. To do this DNA markers are critical and they must be tightly linked to specific SBA resistant genes. Such marker technology is needed since the capturing of multiple SBA genes is needed based on both parents also carrying SBA resistant genes.

Final Project Results

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.
