Brief Project Summary:

This project facilitates marker-assisted selection for introgression of essential traits in the MU breeding programs. This project’s sole focus is to deliver data for the breeding programs that characterizes the genetic architecture of important traits for variety development. These data are used for selection and quality control, as well as for research publications.

The main goal of the project is to improve the efficiency and quality control of the soybean breeding program (northern and southern MU soybean programs), thereby assuring the continuous release of novel soybean varieties for Missouri farmers while maximizing limited resources.

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.
