Brief Project Summary:

Objectives of this project include providing high quality germplasm and phenotypic data to develop genome selection tools; identifying new sources of germplasm and genes that improve yield and seed composition; developing superior varieties using new sources of germplasm with improved yield under the extreme environmental conditions; developing high yielding varieties and germplasm lines with desirable levels of protein and oil; developing non-GMO, high oleic soybean varieties and germplasm lines; breeding transgenic events into elite breeding lines; developing sudden death syndrome resistant varieties and germplasm with stacked traits; developing enhanced high-throughput technology to rapidly identify genotypes that have disease and drought resistance, and yield potential.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, breeders, plant pathologists

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.
