Abstract
A new soybean cultivar, ‘Soramizuki,’ was developed by crossing ‘Fukuyutaka A1 gou’ with ‘UA4805’ to integrate the high-yield characteristics of a US cultivar into a Japanese cultivar. While the high yield and yield stability of ‘Soramizuki’ have been confirmed, the specific high-yielding factors were previously unknown. This study compared the yield and yield components of ‘Soramizuki,’ ‘UA4805,’ and ‘Sachiyutaka A1 gou’ in experimental fields during 2021 and 2023. In these two-year experiments, ‘Soramizuki’ demonstrated a significantly higher yield than ‘Sachiyutaka A1 gou.’ Despite a significant yield decrease in ‘UA4805’ in 2023 due to stink bug damage, it showed the highest yield among the three cultivars in 2021. Both ‘Soramizuki’ and ‘UA4805’ exhibited more total nodes, pods per node, and seeds per pod compared to ‘Sachiyutaka A1 gou.’ These differences were attributed to a higher node increase rate, a larger number of blooms per node, and a higher ratio of pods with three seed cavities. Additionally, ‘Soramizuki’ and ‘UA4805’ had greater dry matter weight per plant than ‘Sachiyutaka A1 gou,’ though there were no variations in the harvest index. The light interception ratio per leaf area in the upper canopy was lower in both ‘Soramizuki’ and ‘UA4805.’ These results suggest that the high-yielding traits of ‘Soramizuki’ are derived from the US cultivar ‘UA4805.’
