The objectives of this project are to:
a) utilize existing (domesticated x wild) soybean populations to further refine genomic positions containing genes responsible for elevated protein and improved amino acid profiles,
b) collaborate to develop in-house capabilities to quantify amino acid composition of soybean seeds for improvement of breeding operations, and
c) initiate backcrossing efforts to move value-added genetics from wild soybean into adapted soybean germplasm/varieties.
