Brief Project Summary:

This project will assess the disease reaction of commercial varieties that are available to Wisconsin soybean growers. A secondary objective of the research is to search soybean germplasm resources for different and more effective resistance genes to combat common Soybean Diseases such as brown stem rot, white mold, soybean cyst nematode and Phytophthora root rot.

An unstated goal of this research is to conduct studies that assist soybean breeders in using soybean disease resistance in their breeding programs. Studies that search for and combine sources of disease resistances, clarify genetic and pathological mechanisms of disease resistance and provide technical expertise that stress...
