The grains of nine cultivars of soybean were analyzed for total soluble sugar, reducing sugar, starch, total dietary fibre, in vitro digestibility and antinutritional factors. The total soluble sugar, reducing sugar and starch content of nine cultivars were in the range of 5.72-7.00, 0.51-1.10 and 2.80-3.25 per cent, respectively. Soybean supplied a good amount of total dietary fibre (16.6019.5...

to study the response of yield,yield components,protein and oil content of soybean cultivars to delay in planting in shirvan region, an experiment was conducted at research farm of the faculty of agriculture, shirvan in 2010. in this study, nine soybean cultivars (habit, hack, black hack, cencutry, cloumbos, clark, sahar, zane and willams) were evaluated at different sowing dates (20 may, 4 jun...

Fourteen cultivars included in the University of Arkansas Soybean Variety Testing Program were selected for evaluation based on their tolerance to Roundup herbicide (Roundup Ready® or Conventional) and their ability to include or exclude chloride (Table 1). Trials conducted at the Cotton Branch Experiment Station (CBES) near Marianna, Ark., and the Rice Research Extension Center (RREC) near, St...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the benefits of indeterminate growth habit in breeding to improve yield potential of Japanese soybean varieties, which exclusively have determinate growth habit. Two populations of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from crosses between determinate Japanese cultivars and indeterminate US cultivars were grown in Akita and Kyoto, and seed weight pe...

Classical genetic analysis has revealed that the determinate habit of soybean (Glycine max) is controlled by a recessive allele at the determinate stem (Dt1) locus. To dissect the molecular basis of the determinate habit, we isolated two orthologs of pea (Pisum sativum) TERMINAL FLOWER1a, GmTFL1a and GmTFL1b, from the soybean genome. Mapping analysis indicated that GmTFL1b is a candidate for Dt...

Variations in leaf starch accumulation were observed among four species (wheat [Triticum aestivum L.], soybean [Glycine max L. Merr.], tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum L.], and red beet [Beta vulgaris L.]), nine peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) cultivars, and two specific peanut genotypes grown under different nutritional regimes. Among the genotypes tested, the activity of sucrose phosphate synthase was ...

cated that soybean PIs may have alleles for enhanced seed yield. Improving seed yield of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an Molecular marker analysis can aid in the discovery important breeding goal. The objective of this study was to evaluate and mapping of QTL associated with beneficial and two soybean PIs as sources of alleles for the enhancement of seed novel alleles from exotic parents...

Soybean, a major legume crop, is the source of vegetable oil and protein. There is a need for transgenic approaches to breeding superior soybean varieties to meet future climate challenges. Efficient plant regeneration is a prerequisite for successful application of genetic transformation technology. Soybean cultivars are classified into different maturity groups based on photoperiod requiremen...

For genetic identification of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] cultivars, insertions/deletions (InDel) markers have been preferred currently because they are easy to use, co-dominant and relatively abundant. Despite their biological importance, the investigation of InDels with proven quality and reproducibility has been limited. In this study, we described soybean barcode system approach base...

Sulfentrazone has excellent soil activity on many small-seeded broadleaf weeds, however, soybean injury in "eld experiments has been noted under certain environmental conditions. Injury levels in these "eld experiments have appeared to di!er in severity among soybean cultivars. Growth chamber studies were initiated with the objective of examining the suspected di!erences in tolerance among soyb...
