This project focuses on understanding and improving Minnesota soybean quality traits with regard to seed development and protein/oil levels. One of the objectives is to identify gene expression patterns and traits associated with soybean seed composition. A second objective is to provide a genome-wide foundation for the discovery of factors that regulate seed oil and protein content. The researchers will study the gene expression profiles of developing seed to understand how protein and oil levels are linked to expression patterns during seed development. They hope that understanding differences in the gene expression profiles between soybean that differ in protein and oil content will...
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.
