Brief Project Summary:

This project is a continuation of research that uses a team with expertise in soybean biology, biochemistry, pathology, breeding and plant biochemistry to study soybean cyst nematode parasitism of soybean and devise some practical solutions for resistance. Work aims to analyze the stable T2-transgenic soybean plants with low, moderate and high levels of transgene expression for conferring resistance to SCN race 2 and other SCN races, characterize new stable transgene soybean plants containing the SCN-inducible promoter, analyze the inductility of transgenes expression upon SCN infection and confer resistance to SCN and perform metabolic profiling on the stable T2 transgenIc soybean plants to explore how the salicylic acid signaling affects soybean metabolism in resistant response to SCN.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies

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.
