Brief Project Summary:

This project will generate SCN resistant soybean varieties, and therefore has the potential to help the management of SCN and to benefit soybean production in US including Nebraska. In addition, this project will develop a novel synthetic-RNA interference technology that enables soybean resistance to SCN. This technology will target multiple genes at the same time to enhance RNAi effects on SCN. Furthermore, we will use Polymerase III (Pol III) promoters to eliminate the negative effect of endogenous gene silencing on the application of RNAi. If successful, it will open doors to apply this technology to improve other important soybean traits, such as fungi disease resistance and other insects....

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.
