Registration of S02‐2259 Soybean Germplasm Line

68 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 1, May–June 2007 each year near Bertrand, MO. Over 3 yr it had an average score of 1.8 for root galling compared with 4.2 for ‘Anand’ (Anand et al., 2001) where a score of 1 = no galls or highly resistant and 5.0 is severe galling or very susceptible. It is also resistant to bacterial pustule [caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Nakano) Vauterin et al.]. It is susceptible to soybean cyst nematode, phytophthora root rot (caused by Phytophthora sojae M.J. Kaufmann and J.W. Gerdemann), and stem canker [caused by Diaporthe phaseolorum (Cooke and Ellis) Sacc. var. meridionalis F.A. Fernandez]. Seeds of S00-9980-22 were deposited in the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection. Packets of 100 seed may be requested from J.G. Shannon, University of Missouri-Delta Center, P.O. Box 160, Portageville, MO 63873, shannong@missouri.edu for up to 5 yr for research purposes, including the development and commercialization of new cultivars. We ask that the appropriate recognition be made if this germplasm contributes to the development of a new breeding line or cultivar.
