Brief Project Summary:

This project will generate a SCN resistant soybean variety, and therefore has the potential to help the management of SCN and to benefit soybean production in US including Nebraska. In addition, this project applies the next generation RNAi technology to improve soybean traits. If successful, it will open doors to apply this technology to improve other important soybean traits, such as fungi disease resistance. Thus, this project should have the potential to benefit soybean
production more broadly. Through analyzing the effect of combination of shRNAs with natural SCN resistance on SCN infection, this project provide basis to better utilize genetic engineering and traditional breeding to...

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.
