Registration of ‘MiniMax’ Soybean

Proteomic and metabolomic analysis of minimax and Williams 82 soybeans grown under two different conditions

“…The global demand for soybean and its products has resulted in increased research for development of new genotypes with improved yields, greater drought and disease tolerance, and reduced growth time. Recently, a dwarf genotype of soybean named MiniMax was bred with early flowering, seed setting, and maturation traits due to its multiple dwarfing genes (Matthews, Macdonald, Song, Cregan, & Lewers, ). It flowers approximately 21 days after sowing and matures in 2 months (Matthews et al, ).…”

Understanding the dwarf soybean genotype protein expression pattern and the metabolic content will assist in the development of new value‐added soybean genotypes.…”

Developing a Systems Biology Approach to Study Disease Progression Caused byHeterodera glycinesinGlycine max

“…The system is tractable for gene expression analyses (Cho et al 2001; Zhang and Ghabrial, 2006). A new rapidly growing and dwarf G. max cultivar (MiniMax) has been generated, making a variety of genetic and molecular studies feasible (Matthews et al 2007). The G. max-H. glycines system is also useful because information on genes identified in G. max can be translated directly to improve resistance.…”

Cell-Specific Studies of Soybean Resistance to Its Major Pathogen, the Soybean Cyst Nematode as Revealed by Laser Capture Microdissection, Gene Pathway Analyses and Functional Studies

“…Some of the studies involve a procedure for rapid and efficient transformation (Sun et al 2006: Orzaez et al 2006. The development of the soybean genotype MiniMax (PI 643148), a dwarf, rapid cycling, MG 000 plant that grows as quickly and is as tall as the genetic model A. thaliana (Matthews et al 2007;Klink et al 2008) may fill that void (Figure 7). MiniMax is well suited for forward genetic analyses that include the development of NILs and RILs because they can be grown year-round in the greenhouse with little effort (Klink et al 2008).…”
