1. Continue to identify better sources of partial resistance.
2. Fine map the QTL previously identified and transfer these QTL into high yielding adapted soybean germplasm in Maturity Groups (MGs) II, III, and IV.
3. Compare the yield and disease resistance of lines with different QTL to determine which of these loci have the most consistent expression across environments.
4. Perform functional analysis of the genes underlying the QTLs to determine which genes are the key contributors to the expression of this resistance.
