Agronomic trait of transgenic soybeans in the field evaluation
| Transgenic soybean lines | Agronomic trait | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maturity (day) | Plant height (cm) | Lodging (score) | 100‐seed weight (g) | Seed yield (kg/ha) | |
| L16‐2 | 120.7 ± 2.0 | 109.2 ± 2.6 | 1.7 ± 0.3 | 15.53 ± 0.28 | 3924.2 ± 170.4 |
| L16‐3 | 122.0 ± 1.0 | 109.2 ± 2.2 | 2.3 ± 0.7 | 15.16 ± 0.15 | 3840.1 ± 223.4 |
| L20‐3 | 121.7 ± 2.3 | 108.4 ± 2.2 | 1.7 ± 0.3 | 16.13 ± 0.45 | 3896.2 ± 185.1 |
| L56‐3 | 116.3 ± 2.9 | 114.3 ± 1.9 | 1.3 ± 0.3 | 16.36 ± 0.17 | 4282.6 ± 210.5 |

| Null Segregant | 123.3 ± 1.2 | 108.0 ± 1.9 | 3.7 ± 1.3 | 15.29 ± 0.39 | 3912.3 ± 238.4 |
| ‘Williams 82’ | 123.0 ± 1.2 | 109.6 ± 1.5 | 3.3 ± 0.3 | 16.07 ± 0.46 | 3647.3 ± 135.9 |
The field experiment was set in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Each replicate contained 168 plants. Values are means of three replicates ± standard errors. Lodging score: 1 = excellent (plants erect), 5 = poor (plants lodged); seed yield calculation was based on dry matter seed weight. Statistical significance was tested with one‐way ANOVA, and no significant difference was detected between transgenic and nontransgenic soybean.
