Brief Project Summary:

The objective of this project is to identify fungal hydrolytic enzymes produced during infection of soybean leaves and to develop ways to stop the activity of these proteins so soybean rust fungus does not access the host for nutrients for fungal growth. Express-induced proteins will be sequenced and characterized in an attempt to better understand how the fungus establishes itself on soybean and how the soybean defends against rust infection.

Information And Results
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.
