Genetic Variances}, volume={53}, ISSN={["1435-0653"]}, DOI={10.2135/cropsci2012.10.0573}, abstractNote={ABSTRACTThe genetic effects of long‐term random mating and natural selection aided by genetic male sterility were evaluated in two soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] populations: RSII and RSIII. Population means, variances, and heritabilities were estimated to determine the effects of 26 generations of random mating. The 10% highest yielding lines from each population were selected. Data was collected on flowering date, maturity date, plant height, lodging score, seed yield, seed weight, protein concentration (PC), and oil concentration (OC). RSII had a mean seed yield, PC, and OC of 2163 kg ha−1, 416 g kg−1, and 193 g kg−1, respectively. Entry‐mean heritability for seed yield, PC, and OC was estimated at 36, 68, and 57%, respectively. Theoretical response to selection was 183 kg ha−1 and, after selection, the realized gain was 161 kg ha−1. RSIII had a mean seed yield, PC, and OC of 2300 kg ha−1, 416 g kg−1, and 190 g kg−1, respectively. The entry‐mean heritability estimates for seed yield, PC, and OC were 57, 87, and 91%, respectively. Theoretical response to selection was 300 kg ha−1 and, after selection, realized gain was an increase of 139 kg ha−1. Despite not reaching their theoretical yield potential, the best lines from both populations compared well to check cultivars. The significant genetic variances and heritabilities observed demonstrate that the breakage of linkage blocks by long‐term random mating and natural selection were effective in producing competitive lines.}, number={4}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={Recker, Jill R. and Burton, Joseph W. and Cardinal, Andrea and Miranda, Lilian}, year={2013}, pages={1375–1383} }

Merr.]. Recent studies have shown that southern and northern U.S. soybean cultivars belong to two very distinct gene pools based on pedigree and molecular marker analysis. A study was conducted to evaluate the potential of matings between southern and northern cultivars for applied soybean breeding. Nine populations were derived from matings of two southern soybean cultivars, Johnston and Stonewall, with three ancestral, A.K. (Harrow), Lincoln, and Mandarin, and three improved, Flyer, Sibley, and Zane, northern cultivars. Field trials showed statistically significant differences among and within crosses for mean yield, maturity, height, seed quality, seed weight, protein, oil, and fatty acid composition. There were significant differences in means and genetic variances among populations derived from male (northern) cultivars for mean yield and all other traits recorded. Results suggested that improved northern cultivars would be useful parents for practical breeding programs in the south. Populations derived from Flyer produced the highest mean yields. A significant correlation (r = –0.82) between coefficient of parentage (CP) value and genetic variance estimate for cross yield may indicate that CP is a useful measurement in predicting genetic variation among matings of inbred soybean cultivars.}, number={6}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={Feng, L. and Burton, J.

Genetic analysis of F2‐derived lines from the cross NCA6 × ‘Saluda’ indicated a single gene controlled powdery mildew resistance. Four microsatellite markers linked to the NCA6 Pm gene mapped to chromosome 7AL. The most likely order was Xcfa2123‐0.9 cM–Xbarc121‐1.7 cM resistance gene/Xcfa2019‐3.0 cM‐Xgwm332 A detached‐leaf test indicated the disease reaction response of the NCA6 Pm gene was different from the five known alleles at the Pm1 locus on 7AL. Deletion interval mapping showed a large physical to genetic distance ratio for these microsatellite marker loci. This may be due to suppressed recombination between the introgressed T. monococcum segment and the homologous region of the T. aestivum cultivar Saluda. Our results suggested that the NCA6 Pm gene is likely a novel source of resistance to powdery mildew but additional allelism studies are needed to establish the relationship between this locus and the other known Pm loci on 7AL.}, number={6}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={Miranda, L.

Microsatellite markers were used to map and tag this resistance gene, now designated Pm34. Three co-dominant microsatellite markers linked to Pm34 were identified and their most likely order was established as: Xbarc177-5D, 5.4cM, Pm34, 2.6cM, Xbarc144-5D, 14cM, Xgwm272-5D.
