Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Eight semi-determinate near-isogenic lines derived from eight indeterminate high-yielding elite cultivars.

Eight semi-determinate recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations that comprise high-yielding QTLs from indeterminate SoyNAM parents for enhance yield potential, as well as agronomic data from three locations (Nebraska, Indiana and Illinois).

Genotyping data regarding the types of Dt1 and Dt2 alleles in ~500 accessions selected from the USDA soybean germplasm collection in the context of the genetic diversity of these accessions, and the genotypes of NE3001 sublines that differ from NE3001 in pod numbers and raceme lengths.

New gene(s) controlling soybean stem growth habit by molecular mapping and molecular markers linked to the new gene(s).

Information of genes interacting with Dt1 and Dt2 for stem growth habit.

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.
