The narrow genetic base of the U.S. cultivated soybean has been a concern to soybean growers and producers in terms of how the crop will respond to pest outbreaks that may overcome the genetic resistance commonly used in breeding cultivars. Concurrently to this concern is the fact that soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most destructive and yield damaging pest to which soybean may be exposed. Cultivars with genetic resistance are the only feasible means to control the pest and protect soybean yield. The overall goal of this project is to widen the genetic base of soybean resistance to SCN by the discovery of new sources of resistance and their ingression into superior yielding...
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.
