Genetic Diversity Analysis of Soybean Collection Using Simple Sequence Repeat Markers.

ABSTRACT: Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a nutrient-rich crop that offers a sustainable source of dietary protein and edible oil. Determining the level of genetic diversity and relationships between various genetic resources involved in breeding programs is very important in crop improvement strategies. This study evaluated 100 soybean accessions with diverse origins for 10 important agronomic traits, including plant height (PH), an important plant adaptation-related trait impacting yield, in conditions in southeastern Kazakhstan for 2 years. The comparison of different groups of PH (tall, middle, and short) using a t-test suggested that the group of plants with the tallest PH provided a higher yield (p < 0.001) in relatively dry field conditions. The genetic diversity of the acce
