Brief Project Summary:

This is a long term project with crosses made yearly with subsequent evaluation for desired quality traits. Crosses are made, grow outs are implemented, selections are made, and those with desirable traits are advanced. The breeding program objectives are to:

~ Develop newer, higher yielding, disease resistant, large seed, and clear hilum edible-type soybean varieties.

~ Develop vegetable soybean (edamame and out-of-pod green soybean) varieties.

~ Enhance soybean germplasm adaptable to Michigan by incorporating resistance to white mold, SCN, viruses, aphids, and rust.

~ Enhance grower opportunities to profitably grow "targeted market" soybean varieties (low sat, low...
