Brief Project Summary:

This new project will involve phenotyping F2 population of PI 424324B based on seed assays for incidence of Phomopsis infection from a Phomopsis-inoculated field trial in order to identify new sources/genes for resistance to Phomopsis seed decay. The researcher will identify new germplasm sources/genes that impart resistance to PSD that can be used in the development of high-yielding varieties and agronomically competitive breeding lines with PSD resistance.

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.
