The project's goals are to develop information that will allow the researchers to make recommendations for effective and novel control measures for the soybean cyst nematode and important fungal pathogens in Kentucky. They will use the newly developed BPMV-vector for expression of selected anti-nematode/anti-fungal proteins that confer disease resistance to soybean cyst nematode and fungal pathogens.
