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 F 3 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.
