Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Identify genetic differences between the two gene pools that are associated with increased yield and the specific high yielding experimental lines that contain those genetic differences. These lines would prime candidates for using in variety development programs and for future studies on the genetics of seed yield.

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.
