Brief Project Summary:

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is consistently rated as the most serious production problem affecting soybean yields in the upper Midwest. Seedlings that undergo IDC consistently yield less. From a physiological perspective, iron metabolism is a complex process which involves modifying the soil chemistry, converting iron in a form that the roots uptake, transferring the iron into the root, and transporting the iron to the shoots.

To develop IDC tolerant lines, it is important to consider the many components of the physiological process and determine which are most relevant for IDC tolerance. This can only be done using a combination of genetic and genomic techniques that survey...

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.
