Brief Project Summary:

The project's goal is to provide long-term and stable protection against stress caused by soybean pathogens. The approach will be to develop new techniques that characterize the resistance to disease that cause premature plant death and reduced yields. The focus of the project will be on brown stem rot, white mold and stem blight/stem canker due to their importance in Wisconsin soybean production environment. Results of research indicate that higher and more stable sources of resistance are needed to consistently reduce stress caused by these diseases. It is his hope that new insight developed by this project will lead to new methods to study the genetic and function of resistance in...

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.
