Qualitative Traits in Breeding

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Soybean Breeding

Abstract

Inheritance of qualitative characters has been found out since the beginning of the twentieth century. It plays an outstanding role for a soybean breeder, as a tool to confirm the effectiveness of the crosses made between/among selected germplasm cultivars/lines. Morphological characters of the plants, as root, stem, pubescence, leaf, and petiole, carefully watched may corroborate the result. As well, reproductive traits like flower, legumes, seed, and its hilum attentively observed bring similar outcomes. The feature of the watching are presence/absence, form, shape, type, position, length, number, and pigments. Refined technology allowed to evaluate several chemical substances that are present in the seed: proteases, flavonoids, proteins and enzymes, peroxidases, ureases, phytohemagglutinins, lecithin, lipoxygenase, and phytic acid. They vary in level, presence/absence, migration, mobility, and activity, mainly. Also, special cultivar development may be obtained with their end traits, as fatty acids palmitic, stearic, linolenic, linoleic, and oleic. A comprehensive list of genes has been published along the years by many authors in papers, reviews, and at least eight books. Inheritance of reaction nutrients, insects, diseases, and herbicides should have been presented in Chaps. 16, 17, and 18. Fertility and sterility is mentioned elsewhere in this book.
