Soybean cultivars or breeding materials that combine complete tolerance to the IDC and acceptable yields are not available. The confounding factor is that the conditions necessary for screening are not found in all disease prone ("hot") fields each year. To address this concern, molecular markers have been identified that are being used to test breeding materials. The purpose of this continuing project is to address iron deficiency chlorosis in the upper Midwest using a combination of molecular genetics and gene cloning and manipulation. This is a coordinated project that combines the results of two distinct, but complementary approaches to solving this significant production constraint....
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.
