Brief Project Summary:

This research aims at identifying novel and applicable genes, capable of inducing drought tolerance without disrupting, if not enhancing, plant growth and development. The work screens changes in gene expressions in soybeans and a model plant. Efforts characterize the physiological roles and functions of identified genes in plant growth regulation and drought tolerance.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies, geneticists

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.
