This chapter reviews four main aspects of genetic diversity in soybean: formation, collection,
evaluation, and utilization. Because the benefit of genetic diversity can be realized only by …

The objective of this research was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and to
develop an Illumina Infinium BeadChip that contained over 50,000 SNPs from soybean …

Background Association analysis is an alternative to conventional family-based methods to
detect the location of gene (s) or quantitative trait loci (QTL) and provides relatively high …

Abstract Background Soybean (Glycine max) is a photoperiod-sensitive and self-pollinated
species. Days to flowering (DTF) and maturity (DTM), duration of flowering-to-maturity …

Soybean is an excellent source of high quality protein and vegetable oil for human and
animals. The diverse and increasing demands for soybean have created enough …

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield, when regressed on water needed to replenish 0 to
100% seasonal evapotranspiration (ET), generates an estimate of season‐specific water …

Photosensitivity plays an essential role in the response of plants to their changing
environments throughout their life cycle. In soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill], several …

Seed yield, determined mainly by seed numbers and seed weight, is the primary target of
soybean breeding. Identifying the genes underlying yield‐related traits is of great …

Soybean was domesticated in China and has become one of the most important oilseed
crops. Due to bottlenecks in their introduction and dissemination, soybeans from different …

Background Advances in genotyping technology, such as genotyping by sequencing (GBS),
are making genomic prediction more attractive to reduce breeding cycle times and costs …
