The U.S. Congress selected the University of Missouri to host the National Center for Soybean Biotechnology (NCSB) based on our record of interdisciplinary research on soybean genetics, genomic, and related sciences.
The ultimate goal of the NCSB is to provide innovative molecular approaches that can be applied toward soybean improvement.

MU scientists & officials attended groundbreaking event at Missouri Plant Science Center in Mexico, MO
The new Missouri Plant Science Center is the cutting-edge plant science research facility with manufacturing capabilities.
The science center will house traditional offices, wet and dry laboratories, as well as manufacturing equipment that will process soybeans and other plant-based material into value-added products.
Genome Sequencing and Analysis
In a collaborative project, funded by National Science Foundated (NSF), between the University. of Missouri, Washington University Genome Center and Orion Genomics, sample sequencing of the soybean genome was done to test methylfiltration as a means to enrich for gene-rich segments of the genome.

Soybean Rust
Soybean rust, caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow, has been known in Australia, Asia, Africa and South America, and has now become established in North America. The rapid aerial spread of the pathogen and the potential for high risk of severe yield losses makes this potentially the most destructive foliar disease of soybean.

Soybean Structural Genomics (SoyMap)
A physical map is the basic building block used to clone important agricultural genes and to sequence segment of genomes or entire genomes. In addition to development of an integrated genetic-physical map, DNA sequencing will be done to assess the micro-structure of the soybean genome at several locations. complicates genome mapping and sequencing.

Drought Tolerance in Soybean
Drought is the major abiotic stress factor limiting crop productivity worldwide. Water is an increasingly limited resource, and water availability limits crop productivity in many parts of the U.S. and the world. The genetic basis of drought tolerance is not well understood, and understanding how plant growth and developmental responses to drought are regulated is vital for efforts to modify the impact of water supply on soybean production.
