Abstract
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm line LG06-5798 (Reg. No. GP-382, PI 665996) was developed and released by the USDA–ARS and the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, Urbana, IL. LG06-5798 was derived from a single F3 plant from the cross of LG00-3372 × LD00-3309. LD00-3309 was released by the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station in 2006. LG00-3372 was released in 2005 by the USDA–ARS and the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station and is from the cross of PI 561319A × PI 574477. LG06-5798 is classified in early maturity group IV. In the 2010 USDA Uniform Group IV Test grown at 15 locations, LG06-5798 was the highest-yielding entry in the test and was significantly higher yielding (p = 0.05) than all of the check cultivars, including LD00-3309. LG06-5798 is known to be susceptible to races 4 and 7 of Phytophthora sojae Kaufmann & Gerdemann. LG06-5798 can be used as a parent for soybean breeding programs to provide new genetic diversity to improve the yield of U.S. cultivars.
