Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Physiology Program:
1. Establish Year-1 field trials and controlled-environment experiments for detailed phenotypic evaluation.
2. Evaluate additional drought tolerance measures such as thermal imaging.
3. Determine and evaluate sampling strategy and initiate global transcriptome analysis (Objective 6).
Breeding Program:
1. Make crosses between combinations of extreme phenotype genotypes.
2. Send F1 seed to winter nursery.
Marker and Transcriptome Program:
1. Collect tissue and isolate DNA from parental lines.
2. Identify polymorphic molecular markers among parental lines.
3. Determine the most effective sampling strategy and initiate Global Transcriptome Analysis

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.
