Project Type: Specific Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Jul 11, 2005
End Date: Mar 31, 2008

Objective:
Identification and utilization of exotic germplasm to improve soybean productivity.

Approach:
This project will make crosses and develop populations utilizing exotic germplasm and experimental lines derived from exotic germplasm as parents, test experimental lines and populations derived from exotic germplasm in maturity groups III, IV, and V, and exploit new genetic technology to develop high yielding experimental lines and accelerate the rate of yield improvement in the U.S. soybean cultivars.
