Information And Results
Project Deliverables

We expect to develop a pipeline for breeding the HOLL trait into competitive soybean varieties in all US maturity groups. This project will result in HOLL soybean variety release beginning in 2017. In addition, research will be conducted to determine the environmental stability of the high oleic acid trait, the optimum allele combinations to achieve the target HOLL profile across US soybean production environments, new sources of the high oleic trait in combination with low palmitic acid, and defining any collateral changes in soybean seed composition that may accompany the HOLL trait.

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.
