Stage of Development Descriptions for Soybeans, <i>Glycine Max</i> (L.) Merrill<sup>1</sup>

W. R. Fehr, C. E. Caviness, Dwayne Thomas Burmood et al. · 1 Nov 1971

We developed stage of development descriptions which we believe apply to all soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) genotypes grown in any environment. The descriptions apply to single plants or a community of plants and are precise and objective. Vegetative and reproductive development are described separately. Vegetative stages are determined by counting the number of…

Vigor Determination in Soybean Seed by Multiple Criteria<sup>1</sup>

Aref A. Abdul‐Baki, James D. Anderson · 1 Nov 1973

A multiple criteria approach is presented by which vigor was evaluated in 16 lots of soybean ( Glycine max L., cv. ‘Lee‐68’) seed by determining O 2 uptake, CO 2 production, uptake of labeled glucose or leucine, conversion of isotopes into 14 CO 2 and polysaccharides or proteins, and leaching of metabolites through membranes of…

Cultivar Evaluation and Mega‐Environment Investigation Based on the GGE Biplot

Weikai Yan, L. A. Hunt, Qinglai Sheng et al. · 1 May 2000

Cultivar evaluation and mega‐environment identification are among the most important objectives of multi‐environment trials (MET). Although the measured yield is a combined result of effects of genotype (G), environment (E), and genotype × environment interaction (GE), only G and GE are relevant to cultivar evaluation and mega‐environment identification. This paper presents a GGE (i.e., G…
