Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode survives as eggs within a gelatinous matrix within cysts for years in soil, and produces eggs during a growing season in a gelatinous matrix, as well. Based on studies of root-knot nematodes, which also produce a gelatinous matrix, and preliminary data from SCN, we know that the gelatinous matrix has antimicrobial properties that reduce or eliminate the activity of biological control agents like those developed by some chemical companies. The main goal of this study is to identify the components of the gelatinous matrix of SCN. With the aid of proteomics and metabolomics, the protein content and secondary metabolites of the gelatinous matrix will be identified.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
