Brief Project Summary:

This program targets the implementation of the tools of biotechnology to broaden the genetic
diversity of soybean as a means to introduce novel input and output traits into the crop. The
derived transgenic events expressing the targeted traits are subsequently characterized under
greenhouse conditions and selected lead events are monitored for agronomic performance
and maintenance of phenotype of interest. The current traits currently being researched and
developed within this program include, first a novel approach for enhancing photosynthetic
capacity as a means to potentially increase yield and protect yield under stress conditions, and
monitor impact of these transgenes in conventional...

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.
