Introduction 

This publication contains information on the origin, descriptive 

characteristics, agronomic performance, and seed composition data of 

soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm accessions in maturity 

groups 000 through IV in the range from PI 507670 to PI 574486. Also 

included are cultivars in the same maturity groups, developed at public 

institutions in the United States and Canada, and released by early 1993. 

These data are also available electronically through the Germplasm 

Resources Information Network (GRIN) at <http://www.arsgrin.gov/npgs/> or from the Database Management Unit, USDA-ARS, 

BARC West, Beltsville, MD 20705. This is one of a series of technical 

bulletins that report on evaluation of the USDA Soybean Germplasm 

Collection. Other evaluation publications can be obtained from the 

Curator, USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection, USDA-ARS, 1101 West 

Peabody Drive, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801. 

The accessions included in this publication were evaluated in 1994 and 

1995 in Rosemount, Minnesota (Lat. 45o

 02' N, for MG 000-I) and 

Urbana, Illinois (Lat. 40o

 00' N, for MG I-IV). All tests were replicated 

once per year. Specific comments about each evaluation follow. 

MG 000-I evaluation (Minnesota) 

Planting dates were May 31, 1994 and May 5, 1995. Plots were 3.6 m long 

with 4 rows 76 cm apart. Plots were trimmed to 2.4 m after maturity and 

the middle two rows harvested. Because of the difference in planting date, 

plants flowered and matured later in 1994 than in 1995. The difference in 

planting was almost 4 weeks but the average difference between years in 

flowering and maturity dates was only about 14 days. There was more rain 

in 1994 and yields were generally much higher in 1994 than in 1995. 

MG I-IV evaluation (Illinois) 

Planting dates were May 20-21, 1994 and May 31-June 1, 1995. Plots 

were 4 m long with 4 rows 76 cm apart. They were trimmed to 3.2 m after 

maturity and the middle two rows harvested. Because of the difference in 

planting date, plants flowered about 5 days later in 1995 than in 1994. 

Accessions in maturity groups I and II also matured about 5 days later in 

1995 than in 1994. Rainfall in August and early September of 1994 was 

much greater than in the same period of 1995, which may have 

contributed to a longer growing season for the later maturing accessions in 

1994. A frost on September 22, 1995 cut the growing season short; 

therefore maturity dates from 1995 were not included if the accessions had 

not matured before the frost. Accessions in maturity group III matured 

about 10 days earlier in 1995 than in 1994 where data from both years 

were available.

The seed composition data were collected at the USDA Northern Center 

for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, IL. To obtain oil and 

protein percentages of the seeds with yellow seed coats, approximately 7 g 

of seeds were placed in a beaker and dried in a forced air oven for 3 hours 

at 130 C. The seeds were then transferred to 50 g bottles, sealed, and 

allowed to cool for 1 hour. Samples were then ground in a Varco electric 

dry-food grinder and returned to the 50 g bottles. Seed samples were 

analyzed with an Infratec 1255 food and grain analyzer (Perstorp 

Analytical Company). Samples were scanned from 800-1100 nm. The 

analyzer was calibrated with at least 40 soybean samples having a protein 

range of 33 to 50 percent and an oil range of 12 to 24 percent. Protein and 

oil concentrations for samples with colored or very heavily mottled seed 

coats were obtained with the Kjeldahl procedure for protein and Butt 

extraction for oil. 

Fatty acid composition was obtained by gas-liquid chromatography of the 

methyl esters. Seeds were ground in a small food grinder and stored at –20 

°C until analyzed. Approximately 200 mg of ground sample was placed in 

a 25-ml vial, and 5 ml of sodium methoxide added in two 2.5 ml aliquots 

with an automatic syringe in such a way as to ensure mixing. (The sodium 

methoxide solution was prepared daily by adding 1 g of sodium metal to 

100 ml of reagent grade methanol.) The sodium methoxide, ground 

sample suspension was allowed to stand for 45 minutes, after which 1 ml 

of 10 percent acetic acid solution was added, followed immediately by 10 

ml of heptane (in two 5 ml aliquots). The samples were completely mixed 

after each reagent addition. This mixture was allowed to stand for several 

minutes so that the layers could separate. A 2-ml aliquot of the heptane 

layer was extracted for analysis in a Hewlett Packard model 6890 gas 

chromatograph equipped with a Model 6890 auto injector and flame 

ionization detector. Columns were 30 m by 0.32 mm capillaries coated 

internally with 5 percent diphenyl dimethyl siloxane. In the HP 6890, 

chromatography was isothermal and flow rates for helium, hydrogen, and 

air were 40, 40, and 450 ml min-1 respectively. The injection volume was 

1 μl with split ratios used, dependent upon the concentration of sample. 

Total analysis time was approximately 5 minutes. The integration, peak 

identification, data storage, and report printing were all performed by the 

Hewlett Packard Chemstation software and a modified Excel spreadsheet.

Data Categories and Abbreviations 

The maturity groups of some accessions were changed based on 

evaluation data, but accessions are listed with the evaluation in which they 

were planted. Each evaluation was blocked by maturity group but the data 

are presented in cultivar name or PI number order. 

Numeric values are the mean of observations from two years, except 

chemical data from the Urbana, IL location are for 1995 only. Where only 

one observation was used, that value is followed by a caret (^). Chemical 

data obtained using the Kjeldahl procedure and Butt extraction are 

followed by a “w”. An asterisk (*) following a mean indicates that the 

difference between the values for the two replications exceeded a 

specified limit. The limits for each trait are as follows: 

Flowering Date >20 days 

Maturity Date >20 days 

Lodging >1 unit 

Height >15 cm 

Stem termination >1 unit 

Shattering >1 unit 

Seed quality >1 unit 

Seed mottling >1 unit 

Seed weight >4.0 cg sd-1

Yield >0.7 Mg ha-1

This approach was implemented because of the possibility of 

misinterpreting the mean of only two observations when the difference 

between the individual values was large. 

Missing data are indicated by a single dash (-).

PI number 

Serial numbers assigned by the Plant Exchange Office, National 

Germplasm Resources Laboratory, USDA-ARS, BARC-West, Beltsville, 

MD 20705. 

Accession name 

Accession names and identification numbers are reported as received. No 

attempt was made to change transliterations or translations done by others. 

When heterogeneous introductions were received, two or more sublines 

were preserved and are distinguished by letter (A, B, C, etc.) suffixed to 

the PI number. Any name or number received with the original sample is 

enclosed in parentheses for sublines with other than the “A” designation.

Region and country of origin 

This is the region (province, state, or prefecture) and country where the 

accession originated based on the best information received from the 

country of acquisition or accession name. In some cases, the region listed 

may be the source of the seeds and not the origin of the accession. 

Country of acquisition 

This is the country from which the seeds were actually obtained. 

Year of introduction or release 

This is the year in which cultivars from the United States or Canada were 

officially released, or the year in which introductions were assigned PI 

numbers. 

Maturity group 

Maturity group is the classification of relative maturity based on data 

collected at Urbana, IL and in some cases modified by data from 

Rosemount, MN.
