Start Date: May 01, 2011
End Date: Apr 30, 2014

Objective:
To develop high yielding drought tolerance cultivars adapted to Nebraska and other drought-prone U.S. environments.

Approach:
Soybean germplasm will be screened to identify drought tolerance. Putative tolerant types will be verified. Genetics of the tolerance will be investigated. This work will be pursued in lab, greenhouse, and field studies.
