Information And Results
Project Deliverables

- A validated molecular model for soybean maturity group (MG) based on the E alleles underlying the major soybean maturity loci;
- Yield information for MG1, MG3, and MG5 soybean lines that have exchanged maturity genes donated from high yielding early and late maturing lines.
- Analysis of effectiveness to develop new soybean germplasm with contrasting maturity and targeted seed composition traits using molecular breeding.

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.
