  PLANT PHENOTYPING  

Whether you are developing soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistant varieties by breeding or biotechnology, we offer validated screening services using a well-established, state-of-the-art pipeline to help our clients develop and deliver superior SCN-resistant soybeans to the marketplace. Clients include global, regional, and local seed companies, biotechnology companies, and university researchers.

NEMATODE POPULATIONS

SCN Diagnostics maintains an SCN culture collection providing our clients with tailored screening options to help meet their desired goals.

  • You can choose from a list of available SCN populations spanning the diversity of HG types.
  • Are you interested in testing your own SCN population? For an additional charge, we will increase your population and use it to screen your plant lines.
  • Are you interested in other plant testing services? We can screen other plant species for resistance to cyst nematodes.
QUALITY ASSURANCE

All of our screens include a complementary HG type test on the SCN population used for screening.

FEE STRUCTURE

Screening services are billed per plant. We are certified for both transgenic and conventional plant testing. Transgenic materials are subject to a special handling and disposal fee.
