Registration of Soybean Germplasm Line LG00‐6313

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm line LG00‐6313 (Reg. No. GP‐375, PI 660990) was developed and released by the USDA‐ARS and the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, Urbana, IL. LG00‐6313 is the progeny of an F5 plant from the cross PI 574480B × PI 574477. Both parents are Chinese cultivars that are not in the ancestry of any released germplasm or cultivar in the United States. LG00‐6313 is classified as early maturity group IV. In cooperative tests at 4 locations with private industry, 7 locations in the USDA Uniform Soybean Tests–Northern States, Preliminary Test IV (2002), and 15 locations in the Uniform Test IV (2003), LG00‐6313 yielded 110, 102, and 99% of the highest yielding check in each test. LG00‐6313 is known to be susceptible to races 4 and 7 of Phytophthora sojae (Kaufmann & Gerdemann). LG00‐6313 can be used as a parent for soybean breeding programs to provide new genetic diversity to improve the yield of U.S. cultivars.
