Brief Project Summary:

This project employs next generation DNA sequencing techniques to generate a soybean disease-related gene expression catalog database that shows the mRNA level for each identifiable mRNA found in soybean root and leaf tissues in healthy plants, and in pathogen-infected, diseased tissues for six different soybean pathogens. The transcriptome database has been created for leaf and root tissues infected with reniform nematode, root knot nematode, soybean cyst nematode and southern blight. Completing the transcriptome for charcoal rot and sudden death syndrome is in progress. Analysis of this catalog for nematodes has allowed identification of diagnostic sequences that can be used to monitor pathogen infection.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents, plant pathologists

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.
