Brief Project Summary:

This project focuses on understanding and improving Minnesota soybean quality traits with regard to seed development and protein/oil levels by generating gene expression profiles from the developing seed of recombinant inbred lines. The researchers will map expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) from soybean seed in a recombinant inbred line population and identify eQTL that contribute to variation in seed protein and oil levels. This information will be used in future breeding efforts.

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.
