  • Genes implicated in resistance to soybean cyst nematode infection and methods of their use
    Patent number: 9371541
    Abstract: Genes whose expressions are up-regulated or down-regulated in plant roots in response to nematode infection are disclosed. These genes may play an important role in plant defense against SCN infection. Several nematode-inducible promoters have also been identified in plants, which may be used in nematode inducible gene expression construct. Expression of these SCN responsive genes may be manipulated to obtain SCN resistant lines.
    Type: Grant
