New gene discovery will help combat SCN
Four years of research from a team of scientists at the University of Missouri, the University of Georgia, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has led to the discovery of a new gene- GmSNAP02- that the soybean industry will be able to use to combat soybean cyst nematode (SCN). SCN attacks soybean plants in a way that can be difficult to detect, so having genetic resistances is key. Eric Oseland, Director of Agronomy and Research for Missouri Soybeans, said the current SCN...
