Brief Project Summary:

Evaluate a diverse set of soybean germplasm to identify phenotypic differences in S and Se accumulation, and correlate seed sulfur, selenium, and protein concentrations with specific molecular markers. This information will then be incorporated into soybean breeding programs to improve overall compositional quality and value for feed, food, and industrial uses.

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.
