Brief Project Summary:

The goals of this project are to:
1)Identify germplasm with increased heat tolerance by exploiting genetic variability of MG III and IV genotypes.
2) Develop a better understanding of the mechanisms that protect soybean yield from losses during episodes of high temperature stress; and
3) Initiate incorporation of heat tolerance traits into advanced soybean germplasm and development of mapping populations.

Information And Results
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.
