Abstract

‘NC‐Tinius’ soybean [Glycine max (L.,) Merr.] (Reg. No. CV‐503, PI 664027) was cooperatively developed and released by North Carolina State University (NCSU) and the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service. It was first tested in North Carolina yield trials in 2003. NC‐Tinius is a determinate, maturity‐group‐V, conventional cultivar. It is a high‐yielding conventional line adapted to the northern and central regions of eastern North Carolina. It was derived from the cross of the low‐palmitate and low‐linolenate conventional line TN99‐76,077 to a high‐yielding conventional line V91‐3036. In the NCSU breeding trials (11 environments), NC‐Tinius averaged 3443 kg ha−1, or 353 kg ha−1 more than ‘5601T’, under full‐season conditions. In eight average‐ to high‐yield environments in the North Carolina Official Variety Trials, NC‐Tinius produced significantly higher yields (4031 kg ha−1) than did the standard cultivar 5601T in narrow (19 cm) row spacing. Seed protein and oil contents were similar to those of 5601T. NC‐Tinius is resistant to Soybean mosaic virus (G1), frogeye leaf spot (caused by Cercospora sojina Hara), bacterial pustule [caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines (Nakano) Dye], and stem canker (caused by Diaporthe phaseolorum var. meridionalis) and is moderately resistant to sudden death syndrome (caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. glycines).
