Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most yield-reducing pathogen in the U.S. soybean production. Host resistance and crop rotation are the primary methods of minimizing SCN damage. The goal of this project is to identify soybean genes (genetic loci or QTLs) that contribute to SCN resistance.

One objective of this project is to evaluate recombinant inbred lines (RIL)s developed by researchers at Guelph University (Ontario), University of Illinois and University of Minnesota in an effort to map the loci that contributes to SCN resistance. Using Wisconsin field plot data, the research group will identify soybean loci that control in-field variation for effective SCN resistance by mapping...

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.
