The soybean breeding project will develop high yielding, multiple pest resistant varieties; special purpose varieties for use in food, feed or industrial products; germplasm with specific disease and insect resistance; and lines with improved oil quality. The breeding targets are increased seed yield under dryland and irrigated production systems; seed composition (high oil, high protein, low phytate, low linolenic, mid-oleic, and low saturated fats); and disease and insect resistance: soybean cyst nematode, soybean sudden death syndrome, soybean aphid and soybean rust. The researchers will improve selection efficiency in breeding for specific traits. They will also continue to improve...
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.
