Brief Project Summary:

The goals of this project are to understand soybean Bean Pod Mottle Virus (BPMV) interaction and use this information to engineer resistance to BPMV. Previous studies have shown that endogenous levels of the plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) greatly influence the severity of BPMV infection in soybeans. Whereas increased endogenous SA provides resistance to other biotrophic pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae and Phytophtora sojae, it significantly enhances susceptibility to BPMV.

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.
