Researchers will develop and optimize a molecular quantification system for screening for soybean resistance to SCN. The researchers will be measuring the amount of SCN DNA within the infected soybean roots which is directly related to performance in the field. The new concept of screening soybean lines may have major advantages over existing methods.
