Brief Project Summary:

The objective of this research project is to identify and characterize the candidate genes for flowering time and maturity rate in soybeans by integrating mapped traits and the new soybean genome sequence. The researchers will assess candidate gene diversity and develop plant materials for genetic mapping of flowering time and maturity. Success of this project could help speed the movement of traits into earlier maturity soybean varieties.

Final Project Results

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.
