Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Improve the overall animal feeding value of U.S. soybean meal from optimum amino acid balance and low phytate phosphorus perspectives.

DNA markers for sulfur amino acid genes in the soybean genome that can be used in high through-put marker assisted selection for amino acid composition.

Higher protein Group III soybean germplasm with low P34 allergen and low phytate.

Knowledge about new high protein genes that can be effectively used in breeding programs to increase both protein and yield.

An inexpensive and rapid screening method for selection of improved amino acid quality of soybeans

Characterization of 15 populations developed for the parallel activities of improvement of G&E in LP soybeans and testing of hypothesis about genetic control of G&E

An efficient breeding method for selecting low phytate soybeans with good germination and emergence

One or more new germplasm source(s) with improved amino acid composition that can be used by breeders to improve soy protein quality.

One or more new high protein breeding lines that have stable protein content across environments.


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.
