Brief Project Summary:

This project continues the breeding and development of Minnesota-adapted varieties with resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN) through traditional and molecular breeding techniques. This project expands the use of marker-assisted selection and germplasm screening, using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) technology, for SCN, soybean rust, SDS, BSR, soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and other stem diseases. The project will also establish a platform for screening rust resistance using the new BL3 facility on campus.

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.
