Parent Project:
National USDA Uniform Soybean Tests / Yield, Disease Resistance and Quality Traits Evaluation of Public Breeding Lines (1720-152-0102)
Lead Principal Investigator:
Anne Gillen, USDA/ARS-Stoneville, MS
Co-Principal Investigators:
Guohong Cai, USDA-ARS
Project Code:
1920-152-0102
Contributing Organization (Checkoff):
United Soybean Board
$57,530
Leveraged Funding (Non-Checkoff):
$1,000,000+ The grant funds provided through this project are heavily leveraged against other sources of funding. Dr. Anne Gillen manages a large field-oriented soybean research and breeding program, and Dr. Guohong Cai manages a lab and field-oriented soybean research program. Each has large ‘in kind’ support (exceeding $250K annually per scientist) from the ARS in the form of infrastructure and facilities. This is a cooperative test led by USDA scientists located at Stoneville, MS and West Lafayette, IN. Though the cooperators and participants in the Uniform Tests are not considered collaborators for the purpose of this grant, each person is essential to the success of the testing program. Therefore, the funds are leveraged by the funding of all the public soybean breeders in the USA.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• Seed will be received and redistributed in spring. During the summer, trials will be run at Stoneville, MS and at three locations in Indiana.
• A stem canker nursery will be run at Stoneville, MS each summer.
• Greenhouse evaluation of Rps genes will be run at West Lafayette, IN. Seed composition and SCN testing data will be obtained.
• Preliminary results of analysis of all data will be distributed to participants and collaborators prior to the Annual Meetings of the Uniform Soybean Tests.
• The Annual Meetings will be held in conjunction with the Soybean Breeders Workshop in St. Louis MO in February.
• The final formatted report will be distributed soon after all corrections have been finalized (March or earlier).
• A PDF version of the report will be posted online and distributed to interested persons and organizations (March or earlier).
• Hard copies of the final reports will be mailed to participants and libraries.
