Brief Project Summary:

Soybean yield is directly related to the number of seeds produced and the size of those seeds. This project aims to produce stable transgenic soybean plants that over-express "large seed" genes and evaluate these plants for seed production and oil yield.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies

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.
