There are three main research
objectives in FY2018: (1) continue to collect field data using the developed HTFP platform from multiple field
locations in the 2018 growing season, (2) conduct multi-year multi-site analysis of the field phenotyping data
collected from the previous 3 years, and (3) investigate the new strategies (such as heritability analysis, QTL and
GWAS analysis) to incorporate the HTFP data into soybean breeding. All research activity will be closely knitted
into the existing soybean breeding program at UNL.
