This research seeks to identify physiological mechanisms related to flood tolerance in soybean germplasm and develop flood-tolerant, high-yielding germplasm that can be used to develop maturity group 3 and 4 soybean varieties with this trait. The results will improve availability of soybean breeding lines that can be used to develop soybean varieties with improved tolerance to flooding, plus a management guide that can be used to identify and adopt best management practices to deal with flooding.
