Brief Project Summary:

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 (SCN), soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS), soybean aphid and soybean rust.

They continue efforts to improve charcoal rot, SCN and SDS management recommendations, investigate the...
