Brief Project Summary:

Previous research has shown that the Arabidopsis Pss21 and the PSS25 genes are required for the immunity of Arabidopsis to two soybean pathogens, root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae and the SDS pathogen Fusarium virguliforme. This gene is expected to confer immunity to both pathogens. This research will build on these observations by isolating the genes and generating transgenic lines that confer broad spectrum resistance to both pathogens.

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.
