  • HIGH YIELDING SOYBEAN PLANTS WITH INCREASED SEED PROTEIN PLUS OIL
    Publication number: 20140289909
    Abstract: The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing plants of a soybean variety that exhibit high seed protein and protein plus oil in combination with high yield. The invention also provides derivatives and plant parts of these plants. Further provided by the invention are methods for the use of these plants. The invention is significant in that oil and protein are important agronomic characteristics, but the value of these traits is diminished or eliminated when coupled with decreased yield.
