Registration of ‘S16‐14801C’: A high‐yielding determinate maturity group V soybean cultivar with multiple disease resistance, salt tolerance, and broad adaptation

Abstract

The demand for non-genetically modified soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars has steadily increased in the last decade due to changes in consumers' preferences and the growth of specialty niche markets. To meet this growing demand, the University of Missouri-Fisher Delta Research, Extension, and Education Center soybean breeding program has developed and released 'S16-14801C' (Reg. no.CV-553, PI 699901). It is a high-yielding determinate maturity group 5 early (relative maturity 5.0) conventional soybean cultivar with resistance to multiple diseases, including soybean cyst nematode races 2 (HG type 1.2.5.7) and 5 (HG Type 2.5.7), southern root-knot nematode, reniform nematode, stem canker, and salt tolerance. S16-14801C was tested in a total of 111 environments across 12 states from 2017 to 2021, outyielding the commercial checks (on average
