The main goal of this research is to reduce soybean yield losses due to SCN and SDS. This goal will be achieved by characterizing the response of RILs to infection by the two pathogens, alone and in combination. Molecular characterization of the mechanism of the interaction will also facilitate future breeding efforts to release soybean lines with resistance to both pathogens.
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.
