Application of CRISPR/CAS9-mediated genome editing for studying soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematode
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Soybean is one of the world's most important crops, providing billions of people with food, energy resources, and industrial materials. The value of soybean has increased to 41 billion dollars in the United States. Soybean ... -
Application of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing for studying soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematode
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) Heterodera glycines has become one of the most economically important pathogens of soybean in the world. The main strategy of SCN management is planting resistant soybean cultivars. The main ... -
Characterization of 16B09 and 2D01 effector proteins in cyst nematodes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Cyst nematodes use stylet-secreted effector proteins to modify a selected host cell into an elaborate feeding cell. The function of the novel effector proteins 16B09 and 2D01 from the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) Heterodera ... -
Characterization of a soybean BAG gene and its potential role in nematode resistance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Plants resistant to the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) mount a hypersensitive cell death-like response upon nematode feeding, but the genes regulating this process are not known. Laser-assisted microdissection of nematode ...
