Location: Soybean and Nitrogen Fixation Research
Project Number: 6070-21220-070-013-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.
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.
The 6k SNP chips will be used to map the genes/QTLs for mapping the protein genes in cultivated soybean.
