The Soybean & Nitrogen Fixation Research Unit aims to improve soybean yield, quality, and resilience to climate change for environmentally sustainable production of high-yielding, high-value soybean. Our research focuses on the development of soybeans with broad genetic diversity, high yield, high protein quantity and quality, heart-healthy oil, and tolerance to drought, heat, and flood. We accomplish these objectives by integrating modern genomics, plant physiology, and conventional plant breeding.
