Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this project is to support the University of Tennessee's soybean breeding program in effort to develop high oleic soybean germplasm sources that are adapted to Tennessee and the Mid-South. Research includes field-testing the efficiency/environmental stability of specific combinations of the newly discovered public sources of alleles capable of producing high oleic soybean oil, incorporating the effective pairs of high oleic genes into Tennessee soybean lines and using gas chromatography as a primary chemistry test of fatty acids methyl esters derivatives from oil extracted from soybean seeds of individual plants to make selections with high oleic acid.

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.
