Brief Project Summary:

Our objective is to identify and genetically characterize high yielding lines derived from the wild relatives of soybean that can be used to infuse unique and highly productive yield genes into new soybean varieties. We have 3 sub-objectives that will help us achieve this goal.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Harvest plant rows and sequence lines for G. tomentella-derived RIL populations
Harvest yield tests of soybean x wild soybean-derived lines and sequence lines
Grow yield tests to map yield QTL in G. tomentella-derived RIL populations
Grow yield tests of soybean x wild soybean-derived lines

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.
