Demonstration of the effects of single genes on plant development and morphology The MU Gene Zou illustrates the effects of 12 single gene traits in a common Clark background. Chlorophyll deficient reduces the production of the green pigment chlorophyll in leaves. Leaves appear yellow or light green. Non-nodulating lines do not develop nitrogen-fixing nodules. Glabrous pubescence results in stems and leaves with no pubescence. Pubescence are hair-like structures that protect soybean plants from feeding of insects with sucking mouth parts. Plants without pubescence often suffer from viruses that are transmitted by these insects. Dense pubescence results in stems and leaves with a greater than normal amounts of pubescence. Soybean growth habit is controlled by two genes. One gene determines if the plant possesses the indeterminate (Dt1Dt1) growth habit (as in Clark) or determinate (dt1dt1) growth habit. A second gene (Dt2) causes plants to have a semideterminate growth habit if combined with Dt1Dt1. Fasciated stem causes stems to be broader than normal with shorter internodes. Five leaflet causes leaves to produce five leaflets instead of the normal three. Seven leaflet causes leaves to produce seven leaflets instead of the normal three. Specific genes are also used to confer resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Nematodes are small, soil-living, round worms that attack soybean roots. Several genes confer resistance to SCN. These genes interfere with feeding and reproduction of the female nematode. The most common source of SCN resistance comes from the plant introduction, PI88788. The first variety with this source was released in 1978. Nearly 95% of all SCN resistant varieties in the USA have PI88788 as the source of SCN resistance. Another source of resistance that is used in some varieties is Peking. PI437654 is a plant introduction that confers SCN resistance to all known biotypes. It was first used as a parent of the soybean variety ‘Hartwig’. Demonstration of adaptation Although temperature affects soybean growth and development, soybean plants are also quite sensitive to photoperiod. Because of soybean’s sensitivity to photoperiod, soybean varieties are assigned to one of 13 maturity groups. These maturity groups are adapted to relatively narrow bands of latitude. In North America, MG OOO is adapted to southern Canada; whereas, MG 10 (X) is adapted to Mexico and the Caribbean Islands. Maturity Groups adapted to Missouri are 3, 4 and 5. .
