Correlations between plant canopy reflectance and aboveground biomass can possibly be
used for early prediction of crop yield. Field experiments were conducted in 1998 and 1999 …

Soya bean is a major source of edible oil and protein for human consumption as well as
animal feed. Understanding the genetic basis of different traits in soya bean will provide …

Soybean is a major legume crop originating in temperate regions, and photoperiod
responsiveness is a key factor in its latitudinal adaptation. Varieties from temperate regions …

In Canada, yield of short‐season soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars has increased by
approximately 0.5% per year since they were first cultivated in the early 1930s. Future yield …

An association between early maturity and tawny pubescence has been observed in short‐season
soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The objectives of this study were to determine if a …

The genetic model for maturity in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a series of near‐isogenic
lines, but they do not span the natural variation for early maturity. The objectives of this …

Yield progress of short‐season soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars in Canada has been
approximately 0.5% per year since the early 1930s. Our objective was to identify changes …

Adaptability of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] to a wide range of latitudes is attributed to
the natural variation in the major genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control flowering …

Key message E10 is a new maturity locus in soybean and FT4 is the predicted/potential
functional gene underlying the locus. Abstract Flowering and maturity time traits play crucial …

Soybean genotypes are adapted to narrow bands of latitude due to photoperiod sensitivity.
There are several photoperiod-sensitive loci (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8). Determinate …
