The goal of this research is to identify soybean germplasm with increased water use efficiency and altered transpiration rates. This project should deliver germplasm critical for targeted breeding for drought tolerance based on distinct biological mechanisms and show extreme phenotypes suitable for comparative analyses and identification of genes underlying the water use efficiency and transpiration rates in soybean.
Provide germplasm for targeted breeding for drought tolerance.
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.
