Seed composition is one of the most important determinants of the economic value of seed crops. Despite the importance of this trait, little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for controlling seed composition or yield. In particular, little is known about the genes involved in regulating seed composition. In previous research we used a model oilseed plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, to identify the LUCI1 gene. LUCI1 is a strong candidate to play an important role in regulating seed composition and, possibly, yield. The overall goal of this project is to test the effects of altering LUCI1 activity on seed composition and yield in soybean. Transgenic soybean lines carrying...
Further understanding of the effects of altering LUCI1 activity on seed composition and yield in soybean.
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.
