Soybeans.

ECODA’s 2019/2020 annual report / rapport annuel is available in both English and French.

The ECODA research titles below represent current soybean projects.

  • Targeted gene stacking to create a high yielding soybean with high value, high oleic, low linolenic, low palmitic oil composition   
  • Mine the mutant population resulting from previous research for a line with high methionine and lysine
  • Targeted gene stacking to create a productive high protein soybean line for aquaculture feed      
  • Screening soybean varieties for moisture stress tolerance and prolonged N2-fixation under moisture stress
  • Incorporation of strong seed coat, good germination and root quality in food-grade soybeans
  • Nutritional value and functionalities of non-genetically modified oilseeds for application in aquaculture feeds
