Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Identification and molecular genetic characterization of soybeans with the high stearic acid trait (>20% stearic acid) and the molecular resources to select and develop varieties with the trait.
2. At least two characterized sources of >20% stearic acid soybean germplasm.
3. Yield data on at least one source of elevated stearic acid germplasm line.
4. A breeding and selection strategy to capture the high stearic acid trait along with the low linolenic acid trait and the high oleic trait.
5. Preliminary environmental stability data for fatty acid profiles for soybean germplasm with the high stearic trait in combination with the high oleic 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.
