Evaluation of Infection and Attraction of Soybean Cyst Nematode in Pennycress
Channel: IPREFER Pennycress
Date: 2021-10-18

William Rice (University of Minnesota / Plant Science – Plant Breeding) will be working with IPREFER collaborator Cody Hoerning (UMN). The research’s main goal is to determine the plant-pest interactions with the pathogen soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and emerging winter oilseed pennycress. William will also be involved in actively screening and breeding for genetic resistance in pennycress.
