Brief Project Summary:

The overall goal of the program is to develop and release germplasm and cultivars with improved resistance to stress factors of economic importance to soybean production in Iowa. The breeding program will concentrate primarily on developing resistance to Phytophthora root rot, soybean cyst nematode, brown stem rot, sudden death syndrome, iron-deficiency chlorosis, soybean aphid, and emerging diseases of importance to soybean production in Iowa. The program will incorporate resistance genes into high-yielding germplasm lines adapted to Iowa. The work will be conducted at two geographical locations (Iowa and Puerto Rico).

The ISU program differentiates itself from private breeding programs...

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.
