Information And Results
Project Deliverables

During the period of the grant, we expect to achieve the following:
1. Development of NILs for the SCN resistant QTL through MAB program; development of additional SSR and SNP markers for the novel QTL regions. These genetic markers and NILs will be used for fine-mapping and map-based cloning.
2. Identification of candidate genes underlying resistance to SCN through TF profiling and Solexa sequencing technology and cloning a subset of these candidate genes.
3. Characterization and functional analysis of a subset of candidate genes using genetic transformation approaches, such as the hairy root system.
4. Development of SCN resistance germplasm through molecular breeding using gene-based genetic markers.

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.
