Six cross combinations and BC1 populations were made at Stoneville, MS and College Station, TX between reniform resistant line LONREN-1 and highly adapted germplasm lines including nectariless and root-knot nematode resistance lines developed at Mississippi State University. In 2008, segregating populations were evaluated for presence of the gene for resistance to reniform nematodes utilizing public domain marker BNL 3279. Selected plants will be evaluated for agronomic performance with the goal of releasing adapted reniform nematode resistant germplasm lines.
