Brief Project Summary:

Since host plant resistance to soybean rust has not yet been employed as a major control method, probably due to a lack of known source for stable and strong resistance, this project is long-term in nature. With the, now established, two rust screening nurseries in China, previously identified possible resistant PI's along with lines from different crossing material can now be screened effectively at both the China soybean rust nursery as well as in cooperation with the University of Georgia. In 2009, the research groups found one germplasm line that showed partial resistance to soybean rust in multiple tests both in China and Georgia. This partial resistant line was used as a "resistant"...

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.
