Brief Project Summary:

Molecular markers are used to tag genes and select plants with specific traits (proprietary, high protein, low linolenic, high oleic, food grade, resistance to insects and pathogens) in a breeding program. Recently a large number of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers were developed for soybean through a United Soybean Board/USDA initiative.

The goal is to use this new resource in OSU's soybean breeding program. The developed assays will result in efficient incorporation, in Ohio germplasm, of disease resistance and novel traits required for producing food, fuel, and bio-based products.

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.
