Brief Project Summary:

Drought is consistently the most important abiotic stress factor limiting soybean production in Missouri. Development of soybean varieties with greater drought tolerance is very challenging, but at the same time very promising to improve Missouri soybean yields. This research will focus on physiology, mapping population development, and breeding of soybean for greater drought tolerance based on carbon and oxygen stable Isotope discrimination mechanisms

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.
