N7007

USDA-N7007 is a conventional maturity group (MG) VII soybean germplasm with white flowers, grey pubescence, tan pod walls and yellow seeds with light brown hilum. It has a determinate growth habit with good resistance to lodging. USDA-N7007 is a high-yielding high-protein germplasm derived from the backcross of wild soybean (PI 366122) to small-seeded recurrent parent, USDA cultivar N7103. This release is 25% wild soybean based on pedigree, and 11% based on DNA analysis using 2554 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers. USDA-N7007 is resistant to southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and stem canker (Diaporthe aspalathi). USDA-N7007 is the first U.S. soybean release clearly demonstrating that the wild soybean genome can enhance both seed protein and seed yield.
