Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Mar 30, 2004
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:
Develop populations segregating for rust resistance using as parents newly identified rust resistant lines from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection in maturity groups 000 to IX and U.S. commerical varieties to prepare for genetically mapping rust resistance loci and developing rust resistance cultivars.
