Brief Project Summary:

The objectives are to: 1) Continue screening individual plants from a population of soybean for the presence of increased levels of calcium oxalate in leaves; 2) Determine levels of insect resistance in soybean lines with higher or lower levels of calcium oxalate; and 3) Determine if there is a link between calcium oxalate crystal formation and chloride tolerance/sensitivity.

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.
