- Abstract
USDA‐N7004 (Reg. no. GP‐438, PI 692263) is a conventional late maturity group VII soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm with good yield potential, elevated seed protein content, and 25% exotic pedigree from Japanese cultivar Tamahikari (PI 423897). USDA‐N7004 was jointly released as a non‐GM germplasm by the USDA‐ARS and the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in September 2019. USDA‐N7004, experimental name N10‐711, was derived from a cross of USDA‐ARS breeding lines NTCPR01‐163 ('Dillon' × Tamahikari) and N03‐832. Across 27 environments of the USDA Uniform Soybean Tests‐Southern States (Uniform Tests), USDA‐N7004 yielded 97 and 94% of elite checks 'N7003CN' and 'NC‐Wilder', respectively. Over 20 environments of United Soybean Board Southern Diversity Yield Trials (Diversity Trials), USDA‐N7004 yielded 98 and 94% of the same two checks, respectively. In the Uniform Tests, seed protein content of USDA‐N7004 (421 g kg−1) was significantly higher than N7003CN and NC‐Wilder on a zero‐moisture basis (405 and 399 g kg−1, respectively). The meal protein content of USDA‐N7004 (49%) was significantly higher than N7003CN or NC‐Wilder (47%) in the Uniform Tests as well as in the Diversity Trials. USDA‐N7004 should be a useful parent in breeding programs aimed at broadening the genetic base of soybean along with improving seed protein and seed yield.
