Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Germplasm and molecular markers for the development of highly resistant cultivars
2. Numerous QTL and characterized sources of resistance to these numerous soil borne pathogens for which companies can immediately begin to use in their cultivar development
3. An understanding of how resistance is expressed in soybean to these soil borne pathogens which will serve as the long term basis for cultivar development
4. A set of constructs (both composite plants and Virus induced gene silencing vectors) to be used in the future for gene functional analysis for soybean pathogens future studies

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.
