Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Objective 1.
(i) release four U.S. adapted high protein germplasm lines that meet criteria in objective 1,
(ii) Gene controlling high protein in Danbaekkong at the chromosome 20 QTL identified and new marker for selection of the protein allele to discriminate from BARC-7 allele developed and
(iii) at least 20 new advanced breeding lines entered in USDA regional Trials.

Objective 2.
(i) release at least one germplasm with exotic Glycine max or Glycine soja pedigree and high meal protein with little or no yield drag
(ii) continue to provide SoySNP6K data for at least 40 potential high protein parental lines each year to the private and public soybean community.

Objective 3.
i) Novel high protein QTL, particularly with potential to break the negative relationship of protein with yield and oil, are fine mapped
(ii) molecular markers for breeding with such QTL are developed and used in marker assisted breeding to break/minimize negative relationships of seed protein with yield and oil
(iii) new alleles for high proteins continued to be discovered from at least one G. max x G. max and one G. soja x G. max RIL populations.

Final Project Results

Updated September 11, 2019:

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.
