This research program brings together a multidisciplinary approach to gain insight on two
candidate genes identified by a research group at the University of Illinois that appear to govern
significant control over protein deposition in soybean. Confirmation of these findings through
functional characterization of the genes opens the door for designing selection schemes to bred
for high protein, without compromising yield, and will broaden our understanding on controlling
networks of carbon flux during seed development and its translation in to seed oil and protein.
