Brief Project Summary:

The goal of the project is to develop tools/materials that can be used to develop resistant germplasm that in turn can be used to develop soybean varieties that have resistance to the reniform nematode.

The specific objectives are to:

~ Identify sources of host plant resistance to reniform nematode in soybean.

~ Initiate development of germplasm that has resistance.
and

~ Use molecular techniques to identify molecular markers that can be used in marker-assisted selection.

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.
