This research program brings together a multidisciplinary approach for the creation and evaluation of novel input and output traits in soybean. These include a gene stack combination to enhance photosynthetic capacity, and combining these photosynthesis genes with genes expressed specifically during seed development designed to increase oil percentage, while maintaining protein quality and quality. More recently, we designed and introduced into soybean genetic constructs that are expected to alter stomata counts in leaf surfaces as a unique means to improve drought tolerance in the crop. Importantly, this program translates the novel soybean created from greenhouse to field environments,...

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.
