Brief Project Summary:

The objective of this project is to identify soybean
targets of type III effectors from the soybean pathogen P. syringae pv. Glycinea, evaluate the importance of these
targets to soybean immunity, and explore the extent that these targets can be manipulated to produce soybean plants
with improve resistance to biotic stress.

Project Deliverables

At the end of this objective we will have a clear view of how
important these proteins are to soybean immunity and, importantly, the extent that these proteins
may be altered to produce soybean plants with improve resistance to biotic stress.

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.
