This project continues the breeding and development of Minnesota-adapted varieties with resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN) through traditional and molecular breeding techniques. This project will implement DNA marker technology that quickly and efficiently identifies SCN resistant lines early in the breeding program. Another objective is to expand GoldenGate technology to discover new markers that tag genes for novel forms of SCN resistance or tolerance, as well as, resistance to other soybean pathogens. Three new SCN resistant varieties will be released in 2013.
Continued development of Minnesota-adapted varieties with resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN).
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.
