Brief Project Summary:

The goals of this project are to test the efficacy of glycerol as a protective agent against microbial pathogens affecting soybean production and to develop strategies for manipulating the pathway mediating glycerol-induced resistance in soybean.

Preliminary studies indicate that 100nM glycerol applied for three consecutive days can induce lasting resistance to Pseudomonas syringae and Phytophthora sojae.
