Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. New soybean genes identified to play a role in SCN resistance and a better understanding of how they function to confer resistance to SCN.
2. A series of candidate nematode genes correlated with virulence on resistant soybean that may serve as novel targets for bioengineering new SCN resistance in soybean.
3. Whole soybean transgenic lines with various gene combinations evaluated for resistance to SCN.
4. Better markers for selection of the Rhg1 and Rhg4 genes and identification of potential new genes for resistance to SCN.
5. Increased genetic diversity to SCN 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.
