The project employs state of the art molecular tools to identify chromosal locations of novel oil and protein genes in wild soybean, and determines the agronomic impact of the novel genes in field experiments. As part of the efforts aimed at encouraging young plant breeders in the industry, the project includes a stipend for a Masters level graduate researcher.
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.
