Brief Project Summary:

The visions of the soybean breeding program at Purdue University is to deliver new high yielding herbicide tolerant varieties. Most of the new varieties will have Phytophthora and soybean cyst nematode resistance and others will have sudden death syndrome and frogeye leaf spot resistance. Some will have high oil content for improved value and biodiesel processing. Conventional varieties will have high yield and disease resistance for specialty organic food markets or improvements for specific food or feed uses; The 2009 program is being aided by the purchase of a new plot combine that will double the number of experimental lines that can be evaluated and a new high throughput molecular...
