Brief Project Summary:

This project evaluates genetic differences in the ability of soybean to recover from periods of drought and details the role of key physiological processes that drive recovery, including stomata sensitivity to high vapor pressure deficits, leaf expansion and the ability to sustain high nitrogen fixation rates. The effort also seeks to develop screening procedures to select those favorable traits.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies

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.
