Brief Project Summary:

Shifts in soybean cyst nematode (SCN) virulence are reported in other states. The standard assessment of SCN virulence, commonly referred to as SCN Type, is done by comparing the reproduction of a SCN population being tested to soybeans with known resistance genes and to a susceptible line with no resistance genes. This basic information is needed to alert Nebraska soybean growers to the HG types of SCN populations in Nebraska and to allow them to select soybean varieties with specific genetics resistance to overcome these native SCN populations.

Information And Results
Final Project Results

We have successfully introduced a number of novel transgenes into soybean targeting both input and output traits. For example funding of this program has enables to test approaches to increase the photosynthetic capacity of soybean, which in turn may translate to yield benefits. In another component of the program we are evaluating novel approaches to impact enhanced resistance to both drought stress and to biotic pathogens.

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.
