Brief Project Summary:

To develop high-yielding group IV and V soybeans profitable for Missouri farmers and for licensing to other entities for sale in other states. Project objective is to develop group IV and V conventional and herbicide tolerant (RR1, R2Y, R2X, LL, and E3), pest resistant, and stress tolerant soybeans with equal or better yield than popular commercial varieties of similar maturity.

Our breeding program focuses on variety development and will provide a steady flow of new and improved conventional and herbicide-tolerant (RR1, R2Y, R2X, LL, and E3) varieties adapted to Southeast Missouri and the Mid-South region. We will collaborate with several other public institutions on germplasm enhancement...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

* Develop and release high-yielding lines with popular herbicide traits (R2Y, R2X, E3, and LL)

* Provide Missouri farmers and seed entities with productive, pest resistant, non-GMO commercial varieties for export and sale in markets where non-GMO soybeans are in demand

* Provide Missouri farmers a choice of conventional and RR1 varieties which will give them more flexibility without intellectual property issues and opportunity to save seed costs

* Provide Missouri farmers royalties or a return on their investment in research from sale of these varieties

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.
