- Five candidate genes will be cloned, DNA sequenced and annotated (2011)
- Five candidate genes will be inserted into a transformation vector and soybean will be transformed using VIGS or other method. (2011-2012)
- Another five genes will be cloned, DNA sequenced and annotated (2012) for testing.
- A robust assay system for testing DNA constructs rapidly in leaves will be developed (2011-12)
