Information And Results
Project Deliverables

(i) begin to link physiological traits associated with WUE with putative genes underpinning these traits, (ii) advance MAGIC and RIL populations for future genetic mapping efforts, and (iii) conduct yield tests on elite progeny lines under different environments to characterize yield stability and test for potential tradeoffs associated with our target WUE traits.

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.
