Abstract:

Improvement of yield potential is the main objective for soybean breeding. Studying genetic gain of soybean yield and its related traits is very important for the development of high yield breeding strategies in the future. To this end, this research was conducted a two-year yield evaluation trial using 18 soybean cultivars randomly selected from all the cultivars released during the last 30 years in Henan province. Results showed that the yield presented an increasing trend with the genetic gain of 17.39 kg ha–1or 0.7% per year. Effective branch, nodes on main stem, seed weight and plant height had a weak positive genetic gain, whereas pods per plant and seeds per pod showed insignificantly negative genetic gain. Yield had a significant genetic and phenotypic correlation with seed weight, nodes on main stem and plant height while an insignificant correlation with their environments,which indicated that the three traits had high genetic heritability. With the genetic improvement of yield traits, the three traits were improved at the same time and not easily affected by environmental conditions. Genetic and phenotypic correlations between yield and effective branch, pods per plant and plant height were not significant because of their significant negative genetic correlation with seed weight, nodes on main stem, and plant height.

Key words: Soybean, Yield, Genetic gain, Genetic correlation
