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 disease and insect resistance (soybean cyst nematode (SCN), soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS), Dectes stem borer, soybean aphid and soybean rust). The researchers are involved in incorporating transgenic events into elite breeding lines, mapping resistance genes for the soybean aphid, and improving selection efficiency...
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.
