Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this project is to provide soybean breeders a faster and more efficient means to determine and predict resistance to reniform nematode through the development of a molecular screening system. Understanding the genes that are involved in a resistant plant’s defense against reniform nematode and developing discrete genetic points (DNA biomarkers) that accompany this resistance can accelerate the detection of resistant genes in observed lines and implement the introgression or resistance into advance genetic lines.

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

Information And Results
Final Project Results

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.
