Brief Project Summary:

In Kansas, the crop most affected by charcoal rot is soybeans, especially in southeast and east central Kansas. Currently, there are no soybean strains that have been identified that are resistant to the pathogen and there are no other effective methods available for control the disease. The host-pathogen interaction has not been studied at the molecular level, making genetic engineering an impossible strategy at the present time.

The research goal of this project is to better understand the molecular mechanism of the charcoal rot disease Medicago as the model.

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.
