Brief Project Summary:

This research aims to phenotype seed composition constituents and seed quality traits, the presence of seed pathogens, and physical characteristics of mature soybean seed in order to identify heat-tolerant lines to improve mature seed quality. Work identifies and supports development of inbred lines with improved heat tolerance and better seed composition and quality that can be incorporated into a soybean breeding program to develop improved cultivars.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed company

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.
