This project is designed to identify the factors in the soybean plant which control gene expression. The project specifically targets those factors that control gene expression for soybean quality traits and yield. The researchers will measure the expression levels of 37,500 different genes in Minsoy and Archer during three critical stages of seed development to identify genes that are expressed at different levels in these two varieties. The next step will be to identify genetic loci (genes) that are responsible for regulating the differences in gene expression. By understanding variations in gene expression, it may be possible to develop a better understanding of the genetic control...
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
