Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Objective 1:
(i) release three high protein cultivars,
(ii) release three high protein germplasm,
(iii) identify >25 genetically diverse lines with stable protein, and
(iv) refined marker for Danbaekkong high protein allele on chromosome 20.

Objective 2:
(i) release one elevated-protein germplasm derived from exotic Asian soybean accessions
(ii) release one germplasm with elevated-protein derived from wild soybean accessions
(iii) generate SoySNP6K genotype information on at least 50 important breeding lines to be shared with public and private breeders.

Objective 3:
(i) Report QTL mapping results from (a) two large GWAS with more than 1000 G. max accessions covering MGs II – VI and (b) four bi-parental G. max x G. max RIL populations
(ii) report QTL with potential to break or minimize the negative association of seed protein with seed yield or seed oil
(iii) report at least 10 new G. max or G. soja accessions with high protein and/or better amino acid profiles as potential parents for crossing.

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.
