Brief Project Summary:

The long-term goal of this project is to identify molecular markers closely related to, or located with, new and known Rps genes, which confer resistance to Phytophthora sojae, the pathogen that causes Phytophthora root rot. These molecular tags will be used in marker-assisted selection programs to accelerate the incorporation of Rps genes into elite soybean cultivars that have other desirable traits and high yield potential.

These results will be effectively used by soybean breeders in an effort to develop soybean germplasm with greater resistance to P. sojae.

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.
