Brief Project Summary:

In an effort to broaden the gene pool and improve productivity of southern soybean using exotic germplasm with genetic diversity, the research team will incorporate useful genetic diversity for yield from exotic plant introductions (PIs) and northern elite germplasm into high-yielding lines for adaptation to Arkansas environment. Unique traits of interest and value from diverse germplasm will be incorporated into southern elite cultivars and lines.
