QTL Analysis of Root Traits in Soybean by Dr. Abdelmajid Kassem and Research Team

Dr. Abdelmajid Kassem from Fayetteville State University led a study on Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for root traits in soybean. Three graduate students, Tony Washington, Khalid Ouertani, Patricia Lage, and high school student Stephen Myles were part of the research team. The students cultivated three soybean populations in the FSU greenhouse and field, collecting and analyzing extensive root trait data. Their contributions to abstracts and manuscripts were vital for publication. The work will continue with Stephen Myles joining in the next academic year. Outreach efforts included mentoring Stephen Myles in plant care, data analysis, and academic writing. Dr. Kassem guided Stephen in plant cultivation and trait measurements in the FSU greenhouse.

  1. Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for Root Traits in Soybean [Glycine max (L.) (Merr.)]Dr. Abdelmajid Kassem, Fayetteville State University Education: Three grad students (Tony Washington, Khalid Ouertani, & Patricia Lage), and a high school student (Stephen Myles) contributed to this work. These students grew 3 soybean populations (n1=100, n2=92, and n3=94) of soybean in the FSU greenhouse and in the field (Harnett Co, NC), took extensive root traits phenotypic data, analyzed these data, and participated in writing abstracts and manuscripts for publication. This work will continue beyond summer and S. Myles will join the team during the next academic year (2008-2009). Outreach: These projects included mentoring Stephen Myles, a high school student in taking care of plants, taking root traits phenotypic data, analyzing data, and assisting in abstract and manuscript preparation.
