A:PS

A new soyabean (Glycine max) cultivar, Yukihomare, was developed by the Hokkaido Prefectural Tokachi Agricultural Experiment Station in Japan and released in 2001 because of its combined agronomical traits such as early maturity, cool weather tolerance, resistance to soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) race 3 and good adaptation to combined harvesting, with both resistances to lodging and pod shattering. Derived from Tokei 783 x Tokei 780, this cultivar is characterized by purple flowers, grey pubescence, light brown pods, yellow seeds with yellow hila and determinate growth habit. It is resistant to seed deterioration induced by low temperature in the flowering period. It is also resistant to phytophthora stem rot (Phytophthora megasperma var. sojae [P. sojae]). In performance tests, plant height averaged 64 cm and seed size averaged 36.2 g/100 seeds, and crude protein, crude oil and free total sugar averaged 41.0, 20.4 and 10.1%, respectively. It is suitable for food processing of nimame (boiled soyabean), natto (fermented soyabean) and miso (soyabean paste).
