Brief Project Summary:

The primary goal of this regional, coordinated program is to increase soybean producer profitability by reducing yield losses caused by sudden death syndrome (SDS). This proposal will focus on four main research areas:
1) Breeding and genetics.
2) Interactions between soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and SDS.
3) Improvements in greenhouse and field screening protocols; and
4) Production of transgenic soybean plants with the ability to suppress the SDS pathogen toxin movement from roots to leaves.

A major objective is to improve the understanding of SDS resistance, especially through the identification of gene combinations that can increase the level of resistance in varieties....

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.
