Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Physiology Program:
1. Establish Year-2 field trials for detailed phenotypic evaluation.
2. Second year of additional drought tolerance measures such as thermal imaging.
3. Initiate F2 population phenotyping.
Breeding Program:
1. Additional crosses as necessary.
2. Begin RIL development based on Year-1 physiology data.
Marker and Transcriptome Program:
1. Collect tissue and isolate DNA from individual F2 plants.
2. Run polymorphic molecular markers on F2 DNA.
3. Create molecular maps of each population.
4. Continue Global Transcriptome Analysis based on physiological data

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.
