Update:
In the 2011 test, there are 161 entries (MG 0 to V) in 68 tests at 45 locations. This is about the same number of entries and locations as 2010. All locations were planted and growing successfully during the year. There will be more low phytate entries for 2011(24 total) than in past years, and mid-oleic (>50%) entries are new to the test. Other traits include low linolenic acid (<3%), low saturated fatty acids (<7%), increased meal protein concentration, and combination of traits.
In-season data that were collected included emergence and stand counts for the low-phytate entries and chlorosis ratings for MG 0 – III at selected sites in Nebraska.

The Quality Traits test is a cooperative test (2001-2016) among public soybean breeders and is conducted across numerous states and locations to test and develop soybean varieties that contain improved quallity traits, These traits include increased protein and oil content, high oleic, low linolenic, modified carbohydrate traits of increased sugar and/or low oligosacchrides, modified amino acid content, and low phytate. The annual results for each year can be obtained by contacting Dr. George Graef of the University of Nebraska at ggraef1@unl.ed.The experimental varieties developed under this program ultimately lead to released varieties with improved qualtiy traits that either come through direct release to the market or as private varieties that contain as a source the germplasm developed through by breeders from this project.
