Genetic control of soybean seed quality using partial diallel

Abstract: The selection of soybean genotypes with seeds high physiological quality is key to increasing the likelihood establishment and success in field thus reaping higher yields. aim this study was evaluate genetic control from a partial diallel cross. Six previously selected cultivars, group 1 (CD 201, CA 115, MS 8400) 2 202, Syn 1263, 1279), were intercrossed by cross, totalizing 24 treatments. Seeds these cultivars crosses evaluated for seed based on germination tests, first count, accelerated aging, seedlings emergence, emergence speed index. lignin content coat evaluated. effects general specific combining ability reciprocal analyzed. There significant additive non-additive genes traits pronounced traits, which suggest presence maternal effect. Lignin not correlated test results studied genotypes.
