The project's goals are to develop information that will allow the researchers to make recommendations for effective and novel control measures for the soybean cyst nematode and important fungal pathogens in Kentucky. They will continue to use the newly developed BPMV-vector to express beneficial heterogonous proteins with nematocidal and anti-fungal activities that confer disease resistance to soybean cyst nematode and fungal pathogens.
