End Date: Dec 31, 2004

Objective:
Develop soybean rust resistant varieties through germplasm evaluation and breeding using adapted, exotic (including wild species), and novel sources of resistance.

Approach:
Screen approximately 375 segregating introgressed soybean lines (G. max x G. tomentella) for rust resistance and determine the segregation pattern for chromosome number (2n=40, 41, 42) in resistant lines.
