Brief Project Summary:

Three major viruses, alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV), bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) and soybean mosaic virus (SMV), cause significant losses in the yield and quality of soybean seeds in Ohio. Although SMV can be partially contained with a resistance gene, genetic resistance against AMV and BPMV is either not well defined (AMV) or unavailable (BPMV). Thus it is necessary to engineer multi-virus resistance in transgenic plants. We have carried out studies to generate transgenic soybeans that confer resistance to all three viruses with one single transgene construct. We now propose to evaluate the resulting transgenic plants. Approximately ten lines of transgenic plants will be screened to identify...

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.
