ABSTRACT Soybean improvement via plant breeding has been critical for the success of crop. The objective this study was to quantify genetic change in yield and other traits that occurred during past 80 yr North American soybean Maturity Groups (MGs) II, III, IV. Historic sets 60 MG 59 49 IV cultivars, released from 1923 2008, were evaluated field trials conducted 17 U.S. states one Canadian province 2010 2011. Averaged over 27 II 26 III site‐years data, estimated rates 23 kg ha –1 MGs 20...

Merr] diseases the top eight soybean-producing countries 2006. purpose provide information needed by local and world agencies allocate funds for research help scientists focus coordinate efforts. Methods used plant pathologists estimate these included systematic field surveys, cultivar trials, diagnostic clinic records, personal observations, questionnaires sent crop consultants extension staff....
Abstract Soybean is the world’s leading source of vegetable protein and demand for its seed continues to grow. Breeders have successfully increased soybean yield, but genetic architecture yield key agronomic traits poorly understood. We developed a 40-mating nested association mapping (NAM) population 5,600 inbred lines that were characterized by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers six in field trials 22 environments. Analysis agronomic, SNP data revealed 23 significant marker-trait...
Physiological variation among populations of Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, the soybean cyst nematode, has been a problem for [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] growers and scientists. These have classified into 16 races, but system still leaves ambiguity, especially in characterization resistance. Two schemes are proposed: one to classify nematoder aces other designate response nematode. The existing race by Riggs Schmitt serves as basis differentiating H. , with PI 437654 added an additional...
Growing conditions in the U.S. Midsouth allow for large soybean [ Glycine max L. (Merr.)] yields under irrigation, but there is limited information on planting dates (PD) and maturity group (MG) choices to aid cultivar selection. Analysis of variance across eight (2012) 10 (2013) locations, four PD, 16 cultivars (MG 3–6), revealed that genotype by environment (G×E) interaction accounted 38 22% total yield variability. Stability‐analysis techniques probability low were used investigate this...
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a globally important crop due to its valuable seed composition, versatile feed, food, and industrial end-uses, consistent genetic gain. Successful gain in soybean has led widespread adaptation increased value for producers, processors, consumers. Specific focus on the nutritional quality of composition food feed further elucidated knowledge bolstered breeding progress. Seed components are historical current targets breeders seeking improve soybean. This...
Abstract Background Soybean ( Glycine max [L] Merr.) seed isoflavones have long been considered a desirable trait to target in selection programs for their contribution human health and plant defense systems. However, attempts modify isoflavone contents not always produced the expected results because genetic basis is polygenic complex. Undoubtedly, extreme variability that display over environments has obscured our understanding of genetics involved. Results In this study, mapping...
Charcoal rot (CR), caused by the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. is a pervasive disease of economic significance on soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Similarly, drought leading cause yield loss in soybean worldwide. In this study, CR severity and seed were determined irrigated non-irrigated environments 2011, 2012, 2013 for thirteen genotypes, nine which previously to be tolerant (DT). The objectives determine putative DT genotypes over-all effect environments. Colony Forming...
Seed composition is one of the most important determinants economic values in soybean. The quality and quantity different seed components, such as oil, protein, carbohydrates, are crucial ingredients food, feed, numerous industrial products. Soybean researchers have successfully developed utilized a diverse set molecular markers for trait improvement soybean breeding programs. It imperative to design develop assays that accurate, robust, high-throughput, cost-effective, available on common...
Planting date is one of the main factors affecting soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) yield. Environmental conditions in US Midsouth allow for planting dates from late March through early July, and maturity groups (MGs) ranging 3 to 6. However, complexity interactions among date, MG, environment makes selection an optimum MG cultivar difficult. A regional 3‐yr study, conducted at eight locations with latitudes 30.6 38.9°N, MGs 6, was used examine relationship between relative yield day. The...
The relatively low genetic variation of current US soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars constrains the improvement grain yield and other agronomic seed composition traits. Recently, a substantial effort has been undertaken to introduce novel diversity present in wild ( soja Siebold & Zucc.) into elite cultivars, both public private breeding programs. objectives this research were evaluate phenotypic within collection 80 G. plant introductions (PIs) USDA National Genetic Resources...
Charcoal rot, caused by Macrophomina phaseolina, significantly reduces yield in soybean more than most other diseases the midsouthern United States. There are no commercial genotypes marketed as resistant to charcoal rot. Reactions of 27 maturity group (MG) III, 29 Early MG IV, 34 Late and 59 V were evaluated for M. phaseolina between 2006 2008 a non-irrigated, no-till field that had been artificially infested three years. was significant variation root colonization among years, indicating...
Charcoal rot of soybean, caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goidanich, has been a problem for soybean farmers in the United States many years. However, recently its incidence and severity increased midwestern north-central states. Most management strategies, including chemical biological methods other cultural options, have ineffective controlling this disease. Furthermore, is often planted every year or monoculture. Although genetic resistance would be most sustainable control...
Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an important source of protein and vegetable oil. Genetic improvement soybean seed yield composition are ultimate breeding goals. During the past 80 yr, breeders have selected for high other desired traits to make genetic improvements. To quantify changes yield, stability, agronomic end‐use quality traits, we evaluated 93 cultivars in Maturity Groups (MG) V, VI, VII that were released from 1928 2008. Replicated trials specific each MG set conducted during...
INTRODUCTION: Dogs may be loved in Australia, but they are still placed precariously human society, including when work as wellbeing dogs schools. APPROACH: In this commentary, we explore through a case study of Connect, the importance placing at centre our thinking and using positive training methods so to enable dogs, not just students flourish. As will explain, “alpha dog or pack leader” narratives now discredited should used. Instead, policies procedures need written enshrine rights...

It was developed and released by the University of Arkansas System–Division Agriculture Research & Extension Center in 2024. R19C‐1012 has an indeterminate habit, purple flowers, gray pubescence, brown pods, seed imperfect black hilum. From 2019 to 2023,...
Limited information is available for soybean root traits and their plasticity under drought stress. To date, no studies have focused on examining diverse germplasm regulation of shoot response water limited conditions across varying soil types. In this study, 17 genetically lines were selected to study in clay (trial 1) sandy 2) two target environments. Physiological data was measured at multiple crop stages ranging from early vegetative pod filling. The phenotypic traits, biomass...
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS) caused by Cercospora sojina Hara is a disease of soybean (Glycine max (L.)

Phomopsis seed decay (PSD), caused primarily by the fungal pathogen longicolla, is one of most important diseases reducing quality and yield soybean. Few cultivars have been identified as resistant. To identify new sources resistance to PSD, 135 soybean germplasm accessions, originating from 28 countries, were field screened in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri 2009. Based on assays natural infection P. longicolla 2009, 42 lines, including resistant susceptible reevaluated 2010, 2011, 2012...
