Brief Project Summary:

The focus of this research project is soybean breeding and variety development. The research and variety development focus will on improving soybean yield in Nebraska production environments. They will also identify genes and genomic regions that affect important traits like yield, disease resistance, and compositional quality that all impact performance and value for the farmer. The winter nursery program is directly tied to the soybean breeding program.

The winter nursery in Puerto Rico is used to conduct generation advance for soybean breeding and genetics studies to obtain two additional generations per year and for our primary crossing season for the variety development program....
