Brief Project Summary:

The project's goals are to develop information that will allow the researchers to make recommendations for effective and novel control measures for the soybean cyst nematode and important fungal pathogens in Kentucky. They will use the newly developed BPMV-vector for expression of selected anti-nematode/anti-fungal proteins that confer disease resistance to soybean cyst nematode and fungal 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.
