Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Optimize conditions that give high fecundity of soybean aphids on soybean hairy roots
2. Identify and evaluate aphid resistance in hairy roots, using genes from soybean and other plants, and through the silencing of native aphid and bacterial endosymbiont genes
3. Identify and characterize resistance and biotype adaptation mechanisms using molecular, bioinformatic and metabolomic approaches
4. Introduce resistance genes into whole plants

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.
