Brief Project Summary:
The objectives of this project are to (1) characterize soybean line response to Dicamba drift; (2) identify the regions of the soybean genome that control response to tolerance of Dicamba; (3) find and develop Midsouth soybean varieties that are tolerant to Dicamba drift; and (4) develop markers to find soybean lines with Dicamba Tolerance to expedite breeding

Project Summary

The objectives of this project are to (1) characterize soybean line response to Dicamba drift; (2) identify the regions of the soybean genome that control response to tolerance of Dicamba; (3) find and develop Midsouth soybean varieties that are tolerant to Dicamba drift; and (4) develop markers to find soybean lines with Dicamba Tolerance to expedite breeding

Project Objectives

1) characterize soybean line responses to Dicamba drift
2) ID the regions of the soybean genome that control response to tolerance of Dicamba
3) find and develop Midsouth soybean varieties that are tolerant to Dicamba drift
4) Develop markers to find soybean lines with Dicamba Tolerance to expedite breeding

Project Deliverables

1) Develop soybean lines tolerant to drift
2) Identify soybean genome regions and haplotypes to speed breeding
3) Journal publications/Poster

Progress Of Work

Final Project Results

Benefit To Soybean Farmers

Use of tolerant varieties should reduce yield loss of acres damaged by Dicamba

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.
