Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Coordinate field-testing activities in the southern U.S. to test exotic germplasm and improved experimental lines for resistance to soybean rust.
2. Continue an active program that started in 2006 to collect, purify, characterize, and maintain a collection of U.S. soybean rust isolates. This collection is needed so that the diversity of U.S. rust isolates can be determined based on inoculations to resistant soybean genotypes. This collection will be important to soybean researchers and breeders as they study the genetics of resistance and develop resistant varieties.
3. Map rust resistance genes and breed mapped genes into germplasm and varieties adapted to the northern, mid-southern, and southeastern soybean production regions.

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.
