The long-term goal of this project is to first establish a road map to find resistance using "new gene silencing" technology and secondly to use this information to develop durable resistance against a multitude of soybean disease-causing agents. Completion of the soybean sequencing project allows development and use of novel technology to ask questions on what soybean genes do. This research is directed towards answering those questions with emphasis on gene involved in disease resistance. The results will contribute to developing improved germplasm with stable, enhanced, and broad-spectrum disease resistance.
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.
