Final Project Results

Updated September 8, 2021:
Transgenic soybean seed over-expressing the alpha-carboxyltransferase subunit to the plastid heteromeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase were analyzed for seed oil content using advanced, non-destructive, near-infrared imaging technology. Preliminary results indicate a slightly higher seed oil content though further analyses are necessary to confirm this result and verify heritability.

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.
