Brief Project Summary:

This project continues the development of soybean varieties and germplasm adapted to Minnesota with improved protein and oil content, acceptable levels of other quality characteristics, competitive yield and resistance to diseases and nematodes. Funding is also used for testing public and private soybean varieties available or intended for sale to soybean producers in Minnesota and to report the results of yield, protein, oil, maturity and disease reactions. This project is expanding the development of special purpose soybean varieties for food and other uses adapted to Minnesota. Advanced and preliminary breeding lines for seed components that have been genetically altered are being evaluated....
