Brief Project Summary:

This project focuses on the food-grade aspect of the breeding program. The objectives are to develop or work towards the development of food-grade cultivars suitable for international markets, including tofu and soymilk, natto and soy sprouts, and black-seeded soybeans. Breeding also integrates pest and pathogen resistance critical to adaptation to Ohio and quality of seed into food-grade cultivars including resistance to soybean aphid, soybean cyst nematode, Phytophthora sojae, and brown marmorated stink bug. These breeding program objectives are designed to meet and fulfill an international demand for food-grade soybeans.

Key Benefactors:
