Brief Project Summary:

This research intent is to determine mechanisms of soybean root infection from the soil reservoir by the charcoal rot pathogen and other fungi by identifying/understanding the range of mycotoxins used by these fungi to facilitate root infection. This knowledge can contribute to development of soybean cultivars that are resistant to these mechanisms.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed company

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Understanding/identifying mechanism(s) of root infection by soil-borne pathogens that can
contribute to development of soybean cultivars that are resistant to these mechanisms.

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.
