Brief Project Summary:

This research team has developed a high throughput "gene silencing" technology (VIGS - virus induced gene silencing) system to develop durable resistance against a multitude of soybean disease-causing agents. The project involves placing the VIGS system with multiple investigators to help understand functional genomics. The ultimate goal of this project is to identify genes that can be used to develop new resistance traits for different pathogens and to identify new genetic markers for disease resistance that can be used by soybean breeders.

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.
