Brief Project Summary:

In the U.S., soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) causes an annual loss of 128.6 million bushels of soybean (Glycine max) or $1,286 billion. The PI has developed a novel system for genotype-independent genetic transformation of grain legumes including soybean, and an international patent application has been filed by MSU entitled "Method for gene delivery into grain legumes and in vitro regeneration of the same" (PCT Application No. PCT/US11/47050). The PI has already used this system and genetically transformed 7 genetically distanced MSU common bean lines for white mold disease resistance and Liberty herbicide resistance. Recently, she developed a soybean-specific transgene vector...

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.
