Brief Project Summary:

Management of the soybean plant should focus on maximizing the flexibility that the plant has to adjust to different conditions. Some research indicates that certain soybean cultivars have the potential to overcome this problem by translocating starch stores in the leaves and stem to the developing seed during periods of stress.

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.
