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.

Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN)
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is among the most economically destructive pests of soybean in the United States. Soybean cyst nematode causes yield reduction by feeding on plant nutrients, retarding root growth, and inhibiting nodulation. It is estimated that SCN causes 2 to 6 % annual yield loss worth $1 billion each year.

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.

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.

Root Hair Systems Biology
This NSF-funded project uses functional genomics to investigate the process of legume root hair infection by nitrogen-fixing rhizobia.The research focuses on root hair infection by rhizobia, a poorly characterized and experimentally difficult step in the symbiosis to study.
