The objective of this project is to identify genes that are differentially responsive to Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) in susceptible and tolerant genotypes using microarray and real-time PCR data. The researchers will use genetic transformations to up-regulate three of these genes in the IDC-susceptible line Iso-Clark and to down regulate the same three genes in the IDC-tolerant variety Clark. Phenotyping of the transformed lines will allow the researchers to confirm which genes are conferring the tolerance to IDC.
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.
