The article focuses on the registration of SO1-9269 soybean germplasm line resistant to soybean cyst nematode with seed oil low in saturates. Soybean germplasm line SO 1-9269 was developed and released in May 2004 by the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station and U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service. It has value as a parent in soybean improvement programs because of its broad resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, populations and seed oil that averages half the saturated fatty acids as conventional soybeans which average about 14 to 15% saturates. Plants of SO1-9269 have a determinate growth habit with white flowers, tawny pubescence, tan pods, and shiny yellow seed with brown hila. Broad resistance to SCN was relatively easy to recover because the final two of the three crossing cycles involved the resistant parents S93-1475 and S94-1867. Small quantities of seed for research purposes may be ob- tamed from the corresponding author for at least 5 years.

The article focuses on the registration of S99-11509 and S99-11986 improved soybean germplasm with diverse pedigree. Soybean germplasm lines "S99- 11509," and "S97-11986" were developed and released in June, 2004 for use as parental lines in soybean improvement programs by the University of Missouri-Delta Center, Portageville, Missouri , the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA)-Agricultural Research Service , and the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station. S99-11509 and 599-11986, both group IV with relative maturities of 4.4 and 4.8, respectively, combine high yield on less productive soils of the southern U.S. with unique diversity that is not known to be present in the current gene pool for cultivar development in North America. These lines were developed through an early generation testing procedure. These lines were tested in southeastern Missouri research trials in four environments in 2001 and five environments each in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Seeds of S99-11509 and S99-11986 will be deposited in the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection and may be requested from the corresponding author for research purposes, including the development and commercialization of new cultivars.
