Brief Project Summary:

The wide hybridization research transfers unique and economically useful traits from the perennial species Glycine tomentella into soybean. Because the perennial and annual Glycine species are not compatible by ordinary breeding methods, wide hybridization uses a unique combination of classical genetic methods and laboratory technologies to overcome the incompatibility between these species. This allows us to produce experimental soybean lines and eventually breeding lines with genes from the perennial species.

The 19 wild perennial Glycine species, currently available in USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection at the University of Illinois, are extremely diverse and grow in a wide range...

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.
