Scientists are developing soybean plants using technologies like CRISPR that could be more resistant to soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and southern root-knot nematode (SRKN) in the future, says Melissa Mitchum, University of Georgia nematologist.
 
As part of The SCN Coalition’s “Let’s Talk Todes” video series, their new “Research Collection” series features scientists discussing the latest technology being used to combat parasitic nematodes. 
“Whenever we need to add genes, we can make transgenics in the laboratory,” says Wayne Parrott, University of Georgia plant geneticist. “But half of the time we want to remove genes, and we use CRISPR gene editing for that. This allows us to provide a much wider variety of traits to soybean growers, and we’re getting it done faster.”  ....
