Brief Project Summary:

After drought and flooding injury, diseases are the primary cause of yield losses in Ohio. Our soils are very conducive to many soil borne pathogens (Phytophthora, Pythium, Sclerotinia and Fusarium (both SDS and F. graminearum). This proposal will focus on these soil borne organisms through identifying and characterizing novel sources resistance and then making this available to seed companies and producers alike. In addition to the source of resistance, this proposal also focuses on mapping and providing molecular markers to breeders for P. sojae, Pythium spp. and F. graminearum. In addition, we will also screen germplasm developed through Ohio State University/USDA-ARS breeding programs...

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.
