Information And Results
Final Project Results

Progress for each KPI is specified according to the numbered KPIs in section 3.4:
Five of the six breeders representing Maturity Group (MG) 00 to I, and IV to VII are on track for the goal to release up to 30 high oleic + low linolenic varieties between 2017 and 2018. The sixth breeder (III) forecasts release in 2019. Advanced material shows near yield parity with current commercial lines. All breeders have integrated Roundup-Ready herbicide resistance into their program, and one is incorporating Liberty-Link resistance. Overall, oleic level is running 80-85% and many lines show protein content a little higher than their checks. Work continues on indentifying new sources of oleic content (greater than 85%) and sources that reduce the number of linolenic genes that are needed in a stack with oleic.

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.
