Leveraged Funding (Non-Checkoff):
Bilyeu: funding from USDA/ARS in –house project to develop new knowledge and genetic resources that will drive efficient development of soybean germplasm with improved oil and meal quality traits (~$250,000 per year). Lorenz: funding from Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council to develop public commodity, food-type, and specialty varieties with enhanced quality and adapted to northern latitudes (~$180,000 per year). Scaboo: funding from the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council for developing improved varieties of conventional and high-oleic soybeans (~100,000 per year). Shannon: funding from the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council for developing improved varieties of conventional and high-oleic soybeans (~42,000 per year). Nguyen: funding from the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council to develop new genetic resources and apply marker-assisted selection to improving functional seed traits (~$120,000 per year).

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Non-GMO and herbicide resistant soybean varieties with >70% oleic acid/<3% linolenic acid and competitive yields in MG 00-VIII.
2. Strategy for backcrossing and forward crossing four genes to achieve target fatty acid profiles in different production environments. Extension recommendations for producers using HOLL soybean varieties.
3. Research report on the status of the high oleic trait interactions with other oil and meal traits. Soybean germplasm with HOLL trait plus low saturated fatty acids. Soybean germplasm with HOLL trait plus enhanced nutritional energy meal/ENEM trait.

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.
