Brief Project Summary:

As the most destructive pest disease for soybean, The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) costs huge losses
every year. This project will generate a SCN resistant soybean variety using the artificial miRNA and short
hairpin RNAi , which are the next generation RNAi technologies. In addition, this project will identify the
important regulator controlling soybean’s responses to SCN infection and lead to a better understanding of
mechanisms used by soybean to fight against SCN.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The goals of this research are to develop soybean varieties with high resistance to SCN using
artificial miRNA technology and short-hairpin RNAi technology and to better understand the
function of miRNA in soybean’s resistance to SCN.

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.
