Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Gene-silencing:
- A set of silencing vectors for general purpose silencing in soybean
- Soybean plants with resistance to the soybean cyst nematode.

Promoters:
- ID of key regulatory elements from the best promoter
- ID of 1-5 members of 1 new promoter family

Genomic Engineering:
- Determine if CRISPR/Cas9 will provide a fast, economical and efficient system for soybean genomic engineering

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.
