Abstract

FRESOLI, Diana M; BERET, Patricia N  and  HIRSCHFELD, Yanina. PROT 12 FCA: a new no transgenic soybean cultivar with high protein. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2012, n.45, pp.187-194. ISSN 1851-1716.

In soybean, the average percentage of proteins in grain in the last few decades has been 38.80 %. The general aim of the work was to develop lines of soybean from exotic germoplasm with protein content higher than the national average and with high yields. Genetic improvement began with the introduction of genotypes followed by hybridization and subsequent selection. The process resulted in the registration at the National Register of Cultivars Property of the new cultivar PROT12FCA, which presents a content in protein and oil of 42.46 % and 20.42 % respectively, surpassing the witnesses performance on a 5 %. It is resistant to stem canker and to the race 1 of Phytophthora sojae.
