Knowledge of the mode of inheritance of a trait can be a powerful decision-making tool in a breeding program, as
it helps predicting selection gain, defining breeding strategy and choosing parental lines. This study aimed at
estimating genetic parameters to infer the mode of inheritance of promis...

Mode of inheritance of promiscuous nodulation and combining abilities in soybean genotypes
Background
Understanding factors influencing the expression of a trait is key in designing a breeding program. Genotype by environment interaction has great influence on most quantitative traits. Promiscuous nodulation is a trait of importance for soybean production in Africa, because of the soil...

Genotype by environment effects on promiscuous nodulation in soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill)
Plant breeding has been one of the main drivers of crop yield gains during the past century. Breeding for yield improvement through resistance to pests and diseases and chemico-physical constraints to crop production has contributed immensely to food security, nutrition, and improved incomes acro...

Zambia has three primary agro-ecological regions, with each region having specific ecological characteristics. Region II agro-ecological zone of Zambia has low nutrient reserves and poor water holding capacity due to moderately leached clayey to loamy soil; this has led to low soybean productivit...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is an important oilseed crop worldwide and it has recently become the crop of interest in Ghana. In this study, 142 soybean accessions were genotyped with 34 SSR markers and concurrently evaluated for five quantitative and two qualitative phenotypic traits. Twen...
