Brief Project Summary:

This project will incorporate improved seed protein, low phytate and low trypsin inhibitor traits into high-yielding Asian soybean rust and RR2Y varieties. The investigator has initiated a backcrossing program to incorporate these genes into the most productive, multiple pest resistant breeding lines with 46% or higher protein content. The funding during this period will allow the researcher to select and evaluate lines that best combine the characteristics of the recurrent parent and the improvements contributed by the donor parent of the value-added trait.

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.
