Brief Project Summary:

SCN has an amazing array of metabolite-synthesizing pathways, and is able to synthesize an array of nutrients that other animals cannot. The researcher will examine metabolites that are known, or suspected, to influence the SCN's ability to target soybean roots for infection, or that can affect the ability of SCN to lay eggs once infection is established. This data may identify the type of enzymes/proteins that need to be targeted for genomic studies.

The main objective is to determine why particular metabolites directly affect:

~ Infection rate of SCN;
~ Cyst formation of SCN; and
~ Determine if there is any adverse affect of metabolite treatments on soybean yield.

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.
