Final Report

Brief Project Summary:

The research group is using molecular marker technology to make selections that are difficult and expensive by other methods to detect compositional traits such as protein, oil quality, allergen free, trypsin free, altered sugar profiles and lipoxygenase free, traits important to increasing soy use in food and feed markets. The funding will be used to grow, sample and prepare three million leaf samples for molecular marking and making 200 crosses between selected lines and elite parents.
