Research

 

The overall goal of our research is the development of soybean cultivars that have better amino acid profile and cultivars with better oil quality. To achieve these goals, we screen the mutant population developed in our laboratory and also use novel molecular technologies such as CRISPR-CAS9 genome editing to modify the genes involved in these agronomic traits. Using similar strategies, we are also planning to identify soybean lines with reduced level of allergens.
