Abstract
Three soyabean (Glycine max) cultivars (UPSM534, UPSM533 and Hardee) were crossed with the wild species G. formosana, and the parents and 3 F2 populations were evaluated for days to flowering and maturity, and days between flowering and maturity, in 1978. The coefficient of variability, heritability and range of the F2 populations were very high. Days to flowering was governed by polygenes, showing no dominance effect. Early maturity in F2 was the total result of fewer days to flowering and a shorter period from flowering to maturity, contributed respectively by G. max and G. formosana. Development of early lines combining these 2 traits is thus possible. Both characters also showed high heritability, indicating low environmental influence
