Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Activities for Strategy 1
1. Develop recombinant substitution lines that allow cloning of Yld1 and Yld2.
2. Verify the proportion of wild soybean (G. soja) in agronomically superior breeding lines from the cross of domesticated x wild soybean, and develop efficient breeding approaches to introgress wild soybean alleles into elite breeding populations.
3. Map wild soybean yield genes in a QTL population which traces 25% of its pedigree to G. soja.
4. Results from yield trials in 2011 were used to identify the best breeding lines from wild x domesticated crosses as candidates for release.
5. Development of NILs to test the association between morphological traits from wild soybean and agronomic performance.

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.
