Abstrakt: Soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] breeding in the United States currently relies on a narrow genetic base. Glycine tomentellaHayata (2n= 78), native to Australia, is a perennial relative in the tertiary gene pool of soybean. No effort has been devoted to using this species to increase seed yield. The objectives of this research were (i) to identify high‐yielding lines derived from backcrosses between the soybean cultivar Dwight (2n= 40) and G. tomentellaPI 441001 (2n= 78) and to compare their agronomic performance with that of the recurrent parent, and (ii) to determine associations between G. tomentellaintrogressions and agronomic traits. PI 441001 was crossed to Dwight and immature seed rescue was used to produce a sterile F1plant. Amphidiploid plants (2n= 118) were produced by treating the F1hybrid with colchicine. Amphidiploid plants were backcrossed to Dwight and a series of backcrosses were made to obtain lines with 2n= 40 chromosomes, which were self‐fertile and genetically stable. Preliminary yield testing was used to select 180 lines in maturity groups II, III, and IV that had yields greater than or less than that of the recurrent parent. Yield data collected in two replication tests at six to eight locations in 2013 and 2014 identified experimental lines in all three maturity groups that were higher yielding than the recurrent parent. All experimental and parental lines were genotyped, revealing an average of 1% G. tomentellaintrogression. Significant associations were detected between G. tomentellaintrogressions and time of flowering, height, lodging, and yield.
