Development of user-selectable diverse sets of cultivated and wild soybean germplasm for genetic and breeding applications.

Abstract excerpt

After decades of intensive breeding, modern US soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties have achieved significant improvements in yield, quality, and stress tolerance, but these gains have come at the cost of severely reduced genetic diversity. To reduce vulnerability and promote efficient use of germplasm, diverse sets (DS) of varying sample sizes were defined for the entire USDAARS Soybean Germplasm...
