Brief Project Summary:

Bioengineering offers hope of inserting genes into the soybean genome. These transformed soybeans have the potential to provide resistance to various stresses that reduce soybean yields. The objective of the project is to evaluate Jack soybean variety which has been transformed with CaMV35S:PtXTH22 for their gene expression, heat and drought tolerance. The researchers also want to develop transformation systems for USG 5601T and TN09-029.

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.
