Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• Distribute final report of all field and seed composition data for experimental lines tested jointly with commercial companies to all participants and other interested soybean breeders by January 31 each year
• Continue and strengthen industry cooperative evaluations of new, diverse, high-yield lines with improved seed composition and nutritional bundle, facilitating exchange and adoption of germplasm by industry programs
• Develop a common, testing-only MTA acceptable to all commercial, university, and USDA participants to facilitate exchange of seeds for evaluation in the cooperative tests. Complete by January 31, 2019
• Make available experimental lines with improved yield and enhanced protein concentration and nutritional bundle to be used by both commercial and public programs
• Develop a list of high-protein germplasm accessions indicating the allele status the high-protein gene on chromosome 20 and chromosome 15 that can help select new sources of high protein that are genetically different from what is currently being used
• Identify genes in elite and exotic germplasm pools that influence seed protein concentration
• Identify unique loci for yield and seed composition traits in exotic sources that are not present in the commercial gene pool
• Develop at least one new soybean line with superior yield and seed composition and quality for the ESPS in the southern US

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.
