Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The outcome of this project will provide transgenic soybean and non-transgenic plants with yield stability and/or better yield and adapted to drought and flooding prone environments either through stress tolerance or avoidance mechanisms or in combination of both.

• The genetic modification of these genes and pathways will expedite the process of moving yield and stress tolerance traits into germplasm adapted to maturity groups across the U.S.

• The identification of new PIs and the development of transgenic soybean plants will be a new resource for the soybean community working on the genetic improvement of soybean yield, and stress tolerance.

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.
