Information And Results
Project Deliverables

During the period of the grant, we aim to achieve the following:

1. Map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for flooding tolerance using two RIL (recombinant inbred line) populations at multiple field locations.

2. Develop breeder-friendly DNA markers for use in marker-assisted selection.

3. Select breeding lines with improved flooding tolerance from mapping and breeding populations for germplasm release.

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.
