Brief Project Summary:

This program targets the implementation of the tools of biotechnology as a means to introduce novel input and output traits into soybean. The derived transgenic events expressing the targeted trait(s) are characterized at the genetic level and subsequently phenotyped under greenhouse conditions. Lead transgenic events are then selected based on the data gathered from these initial genetic and phenotypic evaluations. Selected lead events per transgenic trait are then characterized under field environments at UNL’s Plant Biotechnology Field Facility for agronomics and stability of the trait(s) of interest.

The traits currently being researched and developed under this program include strategies...

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.
