Brief Project Summary:

Researchers in the kudzu bugs native range in China have studied genetic insect resistance in soybean. They have found a resistance due to QTL H, D1a, D1b and C2, D1b was originally discovered by our University of Georgia group (Rector et al., 2000) and has been introgressed into the Benning germplasm lines and is available for immediate testing. Although we also discovered C2 (Rector et al., 2000a), no follow-up work has been done with it. The overall goal is to first verify that QTLs D1a, D1b and C2 in fact provide resistance to kudzu bugs. If the effect is found to be real, then the genes will all be combined into one single variety, so as to maximize their effect. The first objective...

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.
