Our overall objectives are to chemically and genetically characterize phytoestrogen production in different varieties of soybeans
Specific Aims:
1. To determine high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) elution profiles of soy-related phytoestrogens in soybean seed derived from different varieties of soybeans and their crosses.
2. To identify molecular markers in the existing maps of the soybean genome that would be linked to genes controlling phytoestrogen profiles (PEPs) generated from the eleven soybean varieties and their crosses.
