Brief Project Summary:

The project goals are to develop general-use and specialty soybeans with improved agronomic traits for the farmer and desirable seed traits for end users. The project is targeting the development of varieties with altered fatty acid composition; yellow hilum color for general use and for the food industry; large seed and high protein for the soy food industry; absence of the lipoxygenase enzymes to reduce the beany flavor in soy foods; large seed for the production of vegetable soy foods; and low phytate and altered fatty acid content.
