Brief Project Summary:

This project plans to acquire critical knowledge about the SCN infection process and the associated modification in the DNA and DNA-associated proteins of soybean in susceptible and resistant interactions. Research seeks to determine function characteristics of soybean genes that induce biochemical modifications in the nematode feeding site, to identify major soybean genes controlling SCN infection and to compare DNA methylation in response to SCN infection during susceptible and resistant interactions using near-isogenic soybean lines.

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.
