Brief Project Summary:

The University of Minnesota public breeding program is the vehicle through which new innovations in other research programs can be tested and ultimately brought to the farm level. This project continues the development of soybean varieties and germplasm adapted to Minnesota with improved protein and oil content, acceptable levels of other quality characteristics, competitive yield and resistance to production hazards (rot and stem diseases, nematodes, iron chlorosis, aphids, rust, lodging, drought, etc.).

Part of this project is intended to expand the development of special purpose soybean varieties for food and other uses adapted to Minnesota; and, to analyze advanced and preliminary...
