Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Produce transgenic soybean plants with genes encoding the enzyme targets in the lignin and glyceollin biosynthetic pathways.
Conduct bioassays of transformed plants with modified genes controlling biosynthesis of the three phenolic compounds with selected soybean pathogens to determine efficacy of disease resistance.

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.
