Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Identification of DNA markers linked to resistance to seed degradation and reduced germinability under heat stress.
2. Improved understanding of the genetics and molecular dynamics underlying resistance to seed degradation and high germinability at elevated temperatures.
3. Delivery of a RIL population for testing association of heat tolerance/ high germinability with yield.
4. Identification of novel germplasm with high pollen viability under heat stress.
5. Identification of germplasm with contrasting photosynthesis/respiration traits under high temperatures.
6. Novel germplasm combining four heat tolerance traits: (i) high seed germinability, (ii) high pollen viability, and (iii) improved photosynthesis/respiration, (iv) improved water use efficiency.

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.
