Contributing Organization (Checkoff):
United Soybean Board
$1,093,272
Leveraged Funding (Non-Checkoff):
In kind support was provided by private industry by growing nearly 3,400 yield plots and supplying data in support of this project with an estimated value of approximately $68,000. Other breeders in the public sector grew nearly 700 plots for this project with an estimated value of approximately $14,000. In-kind contribution of the 14 PI and co-PIs whose salaries are not covered by USB is over $125,000. Administrative and physical plant support provided by the USDA-ARS and the eight universities involved in this project exceed $300,000.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Identity genetic systems involved in soybean yield potential and determine their inheritance.
2. Discover new sources of genetic variation that have the potential to enhance soybean yield potential
3. Develop soybean breeding lines with enhanced yield potential.
4. Identify and develop novel strategies and techniques that enhance soybean yield potential.

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.
