Brief Project Summary:

There are four objectives to this project: 1) evaluating lines developed in maturity groups III through V in Kansas and throughout the US to identify progeny with superior or unique combinations of traits; 2) transgenic events developed under a previous project will be incorporated into elite lines through backcross breeding or directly transformed into specific cultivars; 3) evaluating genotypes for response to drought and heat tolerance; and 4) continuing to monitor the amount of variation displayed by SCN populations in Kansas, particularly regarding virulence on PI 88788.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, breeders, scientists

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• Variety and germplasm releases in maturity groups III through V.
• Improved techniques to develop improved soybean varieties to abiotic stress, and pest resistance.
• Extension publications, news releases, and experiment station reports, field days, extension meetings and tours will be used to share the results of this project.
• Web pages used to disseminate information on new releases and germplasm.
• Improved recommendations for appropriate management strategies.
• Peer reviewed publications.
• Trained graduate students prepared to enter the workforce.

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.
