Brief Project Summary:

The overall goal of the project is to discover the unique nonhost resistance mechanism of Arabidopsis against the soybean pathogen Phytophthora sojae. Once such a unique mechanism is discovered, its transfer to soybean is expected to generate cultivars with broad-spectrum Phytophthora resistance. In order to accomplish our goal, we mutated Arabidopsis nonhost resistance genes and identified mutants that showed susceptibility to P. sojae.

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.
