Activity 8
Title: Breeding food grade soybean varieties or germplasm for high yield, better quality or pest resistance
Lead Researchers: Kangfu Yu and Owen Wally
Research Institution: Harrow Research & Development Centre, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada
Description:
This activity will target the development of food grade non-GM soybean varieties with increased yields and SCN-resistance for Maturity Group 2.0-2.5 growing regions.
This activity will also target the development of food grade soybean germplasm with unique qualities for niche markets, such as low or null lipoxygenase traits for soymilk and/or soy beverages; specific protein profiles for specific food and processing uses.
Funding for the Soybean Cluster is provided by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada AgriScience Program through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, with industry support from the Canadian Field Crop Research Alliance (CFCRA) whose members include: Atlantic Grains Council; Producteurs de grains du Quebec; Grain Farmers of Ontario; Manitoba Corn Growers Association; Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers; Saskatchewan Pulse Growers; Prairie Oat Growers Association; SeCan; and FP Genetics.
