Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Soybean cultivars with new genetic variations in genes encoding ß-conglycinin, glycinin and enzymes involved in methionine metabolism.
2. Efficacy of suppressed methionine catabolism combined with increased production of methionine-rich storage proteins in improving the amino acid balance in soybean seeds.
3. Genes encoding key transcription factors and enzymes involved in seed development, specifically those governing protein production and quality.
