Brief Project Summary:

The goal is to create competitive soybean lines with the high oleic and low linolenic traits plus additional seed composition traits that will enhance the value of the soybean to the producer, processor and the end user.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The proposed research would leverage the University of Missouri and USDA HOLL plant material in the current USB backcrossing program as a foundation, as well as other unique University of Missouri and USDA HOLL and HOLL plus breeding lines and populations currently being developed, for incorporating the proposed plus traits through a similar parallel back crossing program utilizing molecular markers associated with the various plus traits. Breeding methods such as conventional forward crossing, early generation selection (pedigree), and utilizing large population sizes will also be used to maximize efficiency and probability of success in staking multiple composition traits into high yielding soybean varieties.

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.
