Research Project: Drought Stress Tolerance in Nebraska

Location: Soybean and Nitrogen Fixation Research

Project Number: 6645-21220-008-12
Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Feb 01, 2003
End Date: Jan 31, 2005

Objective:
To develop high yielding drought tolerant cultivars adapted to Nebraska and other drought-prone 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. This work will be pursued in lab, greenhouse, and field studies.
