This continuing project is directed at investigating genetic approaches to increase the photosynthetic capacity of soybean, under the assumption that by doing so will translate to increased yield and/or protection of yield under drought conditions. The strategy is to develop transgenic plants that have traits that address soybean's ability to yield under adverse environments. This research team has successfully introduced a number of novel transgenes into soybean targeting both input and output traits. This program has been successful in testing approaches to increase the photosynthetic capacity of soybean, which in turn may translate to yield benefits. The program is also allowing...

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.
