The research group will evaluate about 3,000 soybean accessions from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection for reaction to Tobacco streak virus and Tobacco ringspot virus. Virus isolates obtained from Illinois soybean fields will be evaluated for aggressiveness to virus-resistant soybean accessions. The deliverable from the project will include the identification of germplasm sources for resistance to TSV and TRSV and characterization of viruses found in Illinois.
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.
