Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The results of this research will reduce or remove the bottleneck of inefficient soybean genetic engineering and lead to more rapid and efficient production of transgenic soybean for both basic research and commercial release. Although central to plant biotechnology, very few Agrobacterium strains are actively used in genetic engineering research. Generation of soybean-optimized strain, recovered from soybean fields, could tremendously benefit soybean biotechnology and US agriculture.

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.
