Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• Identify soybean physiological pathways involved with improved water use efficiency and ability of plants to tolerate periods of drought stress.
• Determine the genetic and metabolic factors involved in the ability of soybean to tolerate drought, flooding, and heat stresses.
• Understand factors that control soybean root growth and their impact on drought and flooding tolerance.
• Develop soybean germplasm with enhanced ability to tolerate drought, flooding and heat stresses.
• Publish data and information describing USB-funded drought research advances.

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.
