The objective of this project is to look at the development of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) tolerant varieties as a management alternative to single source resistance. The researchers will first identify SCN-tolerant soybean lines in the Minnesota elite soybean-breeding lines. They will then identify gene alleles associated with SCN-tolerant traits and develop a genomic selection model to predict SCN-tolerant traits. Finally, the researchers will develop effective SNP markers for breeding SCN-tolerant soybeans through genomic selection.
Further development of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) tolerant varieties.
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.
