Location: Soybean and Nitrogen Fixation Research
Project Number: 6070-21220-070-007-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Oct 1, 2022
End Date: Sep 30, 2023
Objective:
Develop varieties and breeding lines with >48% meal protein and competitive yields with commercial check varieties.
Develop varieties and breeding lines combining >48% meal protein, >70% oleic acid and/or >6% sucrose
Approach:
Conventional and marker assisted breeding, genomics approaches will be used to
achieve this objective. NIR technology will be used to measure protein, oil and
amino acids.
