Missouri Scientists to Develop Soybean Database
January 9, 2009| |
Researchers from the Missouri University, USA received a $1.1 million grant from the United Soybean Board to construct a comprehensive database of all proteins and metabolites in soybeans. The database will allow researchers to study changes in proteins and metabolites in soybeans grown under drought and other stressed conditions. It will then be possible to create computerized soybean models that can predict changes in the physiology and biology of the plant under changing environmental conditions. Such models can then be used to engineer better performing varieties.
