QTL in mega-environments: I. Universal and specific seed yield QTL detected in a population derived from a cross of high-yielding adapted x high-yielding exotic soybean lines.

Abstract excerpt

Modern soybean [(Glycine max (L.) Merrill] breeding programs rely primarily on the use of elite x elite line crosses to develop high-yielding cultivars. Favorable alleles for traits of interest have been found in exotic germplasm but the successful introduction of such alleles has been hampered by the lack of adaptation of the exotic parent to local mega-environment and difficulties in identifying superior...
