Information on the genetic behavior of early-maturing soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in northern latitudes is important for the formulation of appropriate selection schemes. The Gardner-Eberhart diallel model was used to study genetic effects and combining abilities of 11 early-maturing genotypes (maturity Groups 00 and 000) of soybean grown in Quebec and eastern Ontario. Agronomic characters were measured on spaced F1 plants at one site, and on F2 populations in replicated row plots at three sites. Cultivar (additive) effects were predominant for all characters. Three of eleven lines had positive but unstable varietal parameters for seed yield. Average heterosis was significant for seed yield and plant height at every location. Contrary to other reports, significant negative heterosis for oil content was observed at two locations. Varietal and specific heterosis were significant for most characters.Key words: Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., diallel, Gardner-Eberhart, yield, oil, protein

KG 30 is an early-maturing, high-yielding soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivar which has similar maturity and is 4–5% higher in seed yield than its two parents Maple Arrow and McCall. Its main advantage is its yield performance as an early-maturing cultivar.Key words: Glycine max (L.) Merr., soybean, cultivar description

Seven single strains and a commercial mixture of Bradyrhizobium japonicum were evaluated in association with two early-maturing Canadian soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivars, Maple Presto and Maple Amber. Inoculated and uninoculated plants were grown in pails outdoors. Soil temperature at 15 cm depth was monitored throughout the experiment. At the V2, V3, R2 and R4 growth stages, whole plants were removed from the pails. Nodules were counted and weighed; roots and tops were separated, weighed and analyzed for total nitrogen. Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains 61A148, 61A196, 61A194 and 61A155 were similar in effectiveness, but superior to strains 61A124a, 61A118b, 61A101c and the commercial mixture in earliness of nodule formation, number and weight of nodules per plant, and in promoting greater root and top growth and plant nitrogen accumulation. There were indications that soil temperature may have affected nodulation. Maple Amber showed the greater potential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. This cultivar supported earlier nodulation, had a greater number of nodules, accumulated more nitrogen in the tops and roots and had greater growth than Maple Presto.Key words: Soybean, Glycine max (L.)

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to evaluate both genetic diversity among 19 soybean accessions included in the Czech National Collection of Soybean Genotypes and their potential as a new source of genetic variations for soybean breeding programs. Only 22 of all the 40 random primers used in RAPD reactions showed polymorphism acceptable for an effective characterisation of these accessions. Altogether 122 highly reproducible RAPD fragments were generated, 55 of them were polymorphic (46%). However, because of the previously observed low degree of RAPD polymorphism in the case of Glycine max, fragments with low level of informativeness were evaluated, too. Presented results enable the selection of genetically distinct individuals. Such information may be useful to breeders willing to use genetically diverse introductions in soybean improvement process.

HS-182 and HS-183 are food-grade soybean lines [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] with distinct seed protein profiles and food processing quality. HS-182 is a 7S β-conglycinin α’ and 11S glycinin A4 null with a high protein concentration of 45.7% and good processing quality. HS-183 is a 7S β-conglycinin α’ and 11S glycinin null with a protein concentration of 42.7% and poor tofu processing quality. They are adapted to areas of southwestern Ontario with 3100 or more crop heat units and have relative maturity groups of 2.5 and 2.4, respectively.
