The long-term goal of the work proposed is the development of the knowledge base that will result in improved genetic control of plant stress to increase the yield potential of soybeans and increased quality of the product. We also expect that the results of this project will be beneficial to a variety of stakeholders from genomics researchers to producers. In the short-term, we expect that scientists studying soybean genomics and genetics will benefit, because they can directly apply the resources generated in this project to enhance their research efforts.
