Brief Project Summary:

One way to address drought stress is to improve the capabilities of the plant to withstand drought conditions. Plant growth and water use are interrelated processes influenced by genetically controlled morphological and biochemical characters broadly described as water use efficiency components. The objective of this experiment is to compare germination and root length under different water conditions for key soybean lines. Research aims to identify traits that support drought-tolerant soybeans breeding.

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

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.
