Brief Project Summary:

The specific objectives of this effort are to:
1) Identify charcoal rot resistant germplasm.
2) Determine tolerance of the identified soybean lines to phaseolinone. Promising soybean lines will be challenged with purified phaseolinone; a toxin produced by the pathogen and believed to be one of the important factors leading to disease development. This will allow us to determine whether the "resistance" of the elite lines is because of their tolerance to the toxin or due to some other mechanisms. This may ultimately lead to the identification of distinct sources of resistance to charcoal rot. and
3) Determine the effect of other diseases on charcoal rot expression, microplot and greenhouse...

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.
