Brief Project Summary:

The objectives of this research are to use new ?gene silencing"" technology (VIGS - virus induced gene silencing) to develop durable resistance against a multitude of soybean disease-causing agents.

The project allows development and use of novel technology to develop a greater understanding of soybean defense signaling and how these genes are involved in biotic and abiotic stress resistance. It is likely that identification of genes for resistance against a few target stress agents will contribute to our understanding of common mechanisms involved in protecting soybeans against distinct groups of pathogens. Therefore, the goal of this project is to identify genes that can be used...

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.
