Brief Project Summary:

The objective of this project is to improve soybeans for durable resistance to emerging populations of soybean cyst nematode and yield limiting fungal pathogens that are adapted to Tennessee. The researchers will use standard breeding techniques combined with DNA-marker assisted selection. Primarily known markers tagged to resistance genes are used to select desirable soybean progenies for nematode resistance. The researchers have identified unique parent material with broad resistance to SCN that may provide durable resistance and are transferring resistance genes from these unique sources into elite soybean cultivars. The elite lines include '5601T', 'HS93-4118', 'Hamilton' and 'Hartwig'....

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.
