This is a request for the third and final year of funding for this project. The goal of this proposed research is to increase growers’ profits by improving yields with genetic resistance to sudden death syndrome (SDS). This goal will be met through increasing our understanding of the genetic control of SDS resistance, which will help breeders more efficiently select for SDS resistance. The goal will be achieved through meeting the objectives: (1) Map the locations on chromosomes of genes that confer resistance to SDS and develop molecular markers linked to resistance genes. (2) Confirm the effects of mapped genes so they can be bred into elite soybean breeding lines as part of the breeding...
Update:See October 3rd report for final report
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.
