Brief Project Summary:

The work performed under this project will ensure the continued development of high yielding soybean cultivars with multi-nematode resistance for the delta region producers and ensure SCN resistance for the other portions of Missouri.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• Develop high yielding soybean varieties with resistance to SCN, RKN and RN
• Incorporate genes from new sources such as PI 567516C and PI 438489B along with PI 437654 for broader resistance to SCN, RKN, and RN
• Evaluate associated genetic markers for use in the variety development program at MU
• Phenotype breeding lines from the southern and northern MO breeding programs for resistance against multiple SCN populations
• Evaluate new methodologies to improve the process of SCN phenotyping for high-throughput screening of breeding lines
• Screen advanced lines from the southern MO breeding program for RKN and RN through research collaboration with other universities

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.
