Research Project: Utilizing Unique Genetic Diversity to Combine Elevated Protein Concentration with High Yield in New Varieties and Experimental Lines

Location: Plant Genetics Research

Project Number: 5070-21000-040-023-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Oct 1, 2018
End Date: Jul 31, 2019

Objective:
Develop and release experimental lines and varieties that are higher in protein concentration and higher in yield than current varieties.

Approach:
Breeding populations derived from exotic germplasm with higher protein concentration will be crossed with our highest yielding experimental lines with germplasm with higher protein concentration. Experimental lines will be analyzed for seed composition.
