Location: Plant Genetics Research
Project Number: 5070-21000-040-022-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Oct 1, 2018
End Date: Aug 31, 2019
Objective:
Develop and release experimental lines and varieties of soybean that are higher in protein concentration and higher in yield than current varieties.
Approach:
Characterize high protein lines for the presence of the major protein quantitative trait loci (QTL; Map new QTL for high protein concentration from Glycine tomentella; Characterize protein composition and amino acid profiles of G. tomentella-derived lines and selected experimental soybean lines; and Improve seed quality in early planting soybean production system.
