Brief Project Summary:

As the most destructive pest disease for soybean, The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) costs huge losses
every year. This project will generate a SCN resistant soybean variety using the artificial miRNA and short
hairpin RNAi , which are the next generation RNAi technologies. In addition, this project will identify the
important regulator controlling soybean’s responses to SCN infection and lead to a better understanding of
mechanisms used by soybean to fight against SCN.
