Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this project is to , 1) study the response of genotypes with contrasting stable isotope signatures under distinct growing conditions to determine genotype by environment interactions and suitability in distinct environments, 2) enhance our understanding of physiological mechanisms that underpin the stable isotope traits, and 3) use soybean germplasm previously identified to have increased water use efficiency based on stable isotope analyses and introgress this trait into breeding lines.

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.
