INovas características para diferenciação de cultivares de soja pela análise discriminante New traits for differentiation of soybeans using discriminant analysis

Adaptability and stability of soybean in terms of oil and protein

“…Due to the economic importance, the cultivation of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is one of the crops with greatest increase in planted area and the agribusiness segment in Brazil (Nogueira et al 2008). Soybean and its derivatives are highly promising raw material for the food industry, especially in cereal and meat-based products.…”

Repeatability analysis on morphological descriptors in the early stages of development

“…Nogueira et al (2008) and Matsuo et al (2012) also identified variability in CH, EC, and CPFT CRFT among genotypes, in four different periods of seeding. Furthermore, Nogueira et al (2008) reported large genetic influence for most of the characteristics in different periods, showing little environmental effect. The repeatability coefficients for the CH, ranged from 0.369 to 0.705.…”

“…Currently, about 38 descriptors are used between the mandatory and the additional to differentiate genotypes of soybean, nevertheless, they are still insufficient to distinguish cultivars (Nogueira et al, 2008). Therefore, there is the need of expanding that list.…”

Use of millimeter ruler as an alternative tool in the phenotyping of potential descriptors of soybean

“…According to Nogueira et al (2008), the 38 descriptors, including the additionals descriptors used to differentiate cultivars of soybean are insufficient, which points out to the need of broadening the list of these descriptors.…”

“…According to Nogueira et al (2008), there is genetic variability for the lengths of hypocotyl and epicotyl in the germplasm of soybean. Studies subsequent to this were carried out in order to estimate the genetic variability of the lengths of hypocotyl and epicotyl and for a better understanding of these characteristics (Matsuo et al, 2012).…”
