Introduction 

This publication contains information on the origin, descriptive 

characteristics, agronomic performance, and seed composition data of 

soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) germplasm accessions initially 

classified in maturity groups 000 through IV in the range from PI 578371 

to PI 612761, plus some accessions that were omitted from earlier 

publications. Also included are cultivars in the same maturity groups, 

developed at public institutions in the United States and Canada, and 

released by 2001. 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 2001 and 

2002 in Rosemount, Minnesota (Lat. 45° 02 ́ N, for MG 000-I) and 

Urbana, Illinois (Lat. 40° 00 ́ N, for MG I-IV). Accessions are listed with 

the evaluation in which they were planted, regardless of which maturity 

group they were placed in following evaluation. All tests were replicated 

once per year. Specific comments about each evaluation follow. 

MG 000 - I evaluation (Minnesota) 

Planting dates were June 8, 2001, and May 28, 2002. 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 matured an average of six days later in 2001 than in 2002. 

Growing conditions in 2001 were hot and dry, while 2002 was wet most 

of the growing season. As a result, seed size and yield in 2002 was 

generally greater than in 2001. 

MG I - IV evaluation (Illinois) 

Planting dates were May 4, 2001, and May 27, 2002. Plots were 4 m long 

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

the middle two rows harvested. Accessions initially classified as maturity 

group I were stunted by herbicide damage and were not harvested in 2002. 

Seed composition was analyzed at the USDA Northern Center for 

Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, IL. Fatty acid composition 

was obtained by gas-liquid chromatography of the methyl esters (Christie 

1989, Bannon et al. 1982). Oil and protein for samples with yellow seed 

coats was analyzed using the near infrared method for whole-grain 

analysis (AACC Method 39-21). Protein concentrations for samples with 

colored or heavily mottled seed coats were obtained using the improved 
2 

Kjeldahl method (AACC Method 46-16) and oil by the Butt Extraction 

method (AOCS Official Method Ac 3-44). 

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 2 years, except 

chemical data from the Urbana, IL, location for maturity group I are for 

2001 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 >14 days 

Maturity Date >14 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 >1.0 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 (-). 

Table 1 

PI number 

Serial numbers assigned by the Plant Exchange Office, National 

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

MD 20705. 

Accession identifier 

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 
3

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.
