National Soybean Pathogen Collection Center

Goal

The goal of the NSPCC is to maintain soybean pathogens in a viable and stable state, while retaining all original properties. This collection will provide a reference collection for users from both the public and private sector for strains for both research and teaching. The NSPCC will collect and document variation in soybean pathogens, distribute these pathogens to other scientists, assist others in identifying soybean pathogens, and study pathogen variation as it relates to understanding pathogen biology and host-pathogen interactions.
