Brief Project Summary:

Ethylene is a gaseous hormone that regulates physiological processes in plants, such as seedling emergence, fruit ripening and senescence. Ethylene is also a major component of plant defenses, and elevated ethylene has been shown to increase plant resistance to several pathogens, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Ethylene-insensitive soybean mutants showed reduced disease in response to Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea and Phytophthora sojae, suggesting that ethylene-insensitivity decreases susceptibility to disease.

However, the role of ethylene in disease resistance has not been completely understood due to its interaction with other plant hormones. In some cases it can stimulate...

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.
