Brief Project Summary:

The USB has indicated that high oleic acid soybeans are needed to avoid further erosion of vegetable oil for food market. Schillinger Genetics has developed outstanding non-GMO high oleic Group IV soybean varieties for Delaware. They will add the low linolenic acid genes to high oleic varieties to add shelf life and cooking stability to soybean oil comprised of high oleic (79-82%) and low linolenic (t2%).
