Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• New germplasm and varieties with commercially competitive yields and protein content at 36-38% (13% MC), that will consistently achieve protein-meal at 48%; with a minimum oil content of 18%.
• New germplasm with increased sulfur amino acid content that can be used to produce soybean meal with better nutritional quality.
• A better understanding of the genetics of soybean seed protein concentration and amino acid composition
• Molecular markers associated with high protein and/or high sulfur amino acid content that can be used for marker assisted selection to rapidly introgress these value added traits into elite germplasm from a wide range of maturity groups

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.
