Brief Project Summary:

This project continues to profile protein differences between two resistant and susceptible under control and soybean rust infection conditions. The proteins have been isolated, sequenced and characterized and verified using PCR. The research is using VIGS techniques to silence the expression of the two proteins. They are now testing the functions of the proteins in greenhouse studies for disease resistance.

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.
