One of the goals of this project is to identify and confirm the genes that cause differences in Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) response among cultivars, and target these genes for improvement in susceptible cultivars. In addition, the researchers will use their transformation pathways to test the function of specific genes for nitrogen assimilation. The researchers will use a new technique called Zinc Finger Nuclease (ZFN) and TALEN mutagenesis to mutate genes of interest and recover non-transgenic mutants with improved traits. The development of the IDC transformations, along with ZFN and TALEN mutagenesis technology, will enable future projects to accelerate the development of genetically...

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.
