Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Soybean varieties in MG II - IV-S with low RFO and high sucrose from the RS2-W331 allele with yield parity to commercial varieties, both conventional and herbicide tolerant.
Soybean varieties in MG II - V with low RFO and high sucrose from the RS2-W331 allele, and high oleic acid composition.
A ME value index will be developed for each SBM relative to its control. This ME index will encompass both animal performance and digestibility data. Soybean breeders can then use this value index to develop soybean varieties.

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.
