Research Project:
DROUGHT STRESS TOLERANCE IN MINNESOTA
Location: Soybean and Nitrogen Fixation Research
Project Number: 6645-21220-012-05
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jun 19, 2008
End Date: Mar 31, 2009
Objective:
To develop high yielding drought tolerant cultivars adapted to Minnesota and other midwestern U.S. environments.
Approach:
Soybean germplasm will be screened to identify drought tolerance. Putative tolerant types will be verified. Genetics of the tolerance will be investigated. Drought tolerance genes, as found, will be transferred to adapted cultivars This work will be pursued in lab, greenhouse, and field studies.
