Segregation for late maturity was noted in a fifth backcross (Harosoy6× Pl 80.837) made to transferPd1(dense pubescence) to the soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] cultivar ‘Harosoy’. Selected progenies in both the F4and F5segregated 1 early:3 late (Independently ofPd1), indicating that a single locus for late maturity had been identified. L64–4830 (a uniformly late BC5F4plant progeny with normal pubescence) was selected for further testing. The F2of L64–4830 × Harosoy also showed segregation for a single allele for lateness, and the frequency distribution indicated that the heterozygote was intermediate in maturity but closer to the late homozygotes. Testcrosses of L64–4830 were made to Harosoy maturity-allele isolines that have single maturity-allele substitutions ofE1,E2, ande3. The results indicated that the unknown allele was not at any of these loci. The untested allelee4conditions photoperiod insensitivity to artificially extended photoperiods, and earliness. Since both Harosoy and L64–4830 are photoperiod sensitive, they presumably have theE4allele. Thus, the designationsE5for the allele in L64–4830 ande5for the allele in Harosoy are proposed for the new gene pair. ‘Clark’ is the other important background for maturity-gene isolines and, since it differs from Harosoy only in havingE2instead ofe2, it also must have thee5allele.
