Brief Project Summary:

This project proposes a novel and robust method to study the genetic variability in Macrophomina phaseolina, the pathogen that causes charcoal rot, to aid soybean breeders in developing charcoal rot-resistant cultivars and to develop disease management strategies. The main goals of this study are to compare the population structure of Macrophomina phaseolina isolates from fields in Ohio, other states in the U.S. and fields in South America, and then compare these very geographically distant populations for genetic relationships.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies

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.
