In the recent years, several new emerging viruses have been identified in soybean fields in WI, including Soybean vein necrotic virus, (SVNV) Tobacco streak virus (TSV) and Tobacco ring-spot virus (TRSV). As relatively new diseases, no control method or source resistance is yet available for any of the viruses. Researchers are only beginning to understand what these viruses are, how do they spread, and how they might affect yield and grain quality. One major limitation of viruses transmitted by vectors is the inefficiency of plant hand-inoculation, which is a priority to any research progress in understanding how to control these newly discovered viruses. A goal of this project is...
A reproducible technique to efficiently infect large numbers of soybeans with viruses in order to conduct evaluations of soybean resistance under controlled inoculations.
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.
