The objectives of this project will fulfill several priorities identified in the 2012-2016 Soybean Genomic Research Strategic Plan developed by the soybean research community. These include: 1) Resequencing key soybean cultivars to capture and leverage diversity in soybean germplasm. 2) Developing comprehensive gene expression data for soybeans. and 3) Determining the role of epigenetics in soybean improvements. This project will develop information on the regions of the chromosome that has been rearranged during the past seventy years of soybean breeding in efforts to increase soybean yields. The project involves genomic analyses of major ancestral land race varieties of...
This project was approved by the NCSRP Board and never initiated. Originally, the project was to be funded jointly by NCSRP and USB, however, when submitted to USB, the project was greatly expanded and funded in its entirely by USB.
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.
