Brief Project Summary:

The objective of this project is to establish genetic transformation products for genetically engineered soybean cultivars planted in South Carolina for enhanced multiple abiotic stress resistance. The researcher hypothesized that transgenic plants are engineered to over-express a rice SUMO E3 ligase (OsSIZI) which will exhibit enhanced resistance to drought, heat and phosphorus deficiency, therefore, leading to new soybean varieties with enhanced performance under environmental stress and improved yield and quality.

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.
