1 Australian Soybean Breeding Program Update for Soy Australia 5 th September 2011

2 Australian Soybean Breeding Program Strain trials Regional variety trials On-farm evaluations N.T. Tropic of Capricorn QLD Gene Pools W.A. Tropical S.A. Sub Tropical N.S.W. Riverina VIC Partners TAS

3 Soybean breeding outcomes 1.! Improve crop security & grain quality for grower 2.! Supply expanding markets, increase choice & premiums to growers 3.! Expand area planted to soybean in a range of farming systems across Australia FUTURE TRAITS Removal of allergens Sucrose accumulators Protein globulins Aphid resistance Sulfonylurea tolerance CURRENT TRAITS New sources weathering tolerance Higher value culinary/industrial traits Broader adaptation to latitude Resistance to leaf rust MAINTENANCE TRAITS Yield & superior agronomic traits Maturity (3 groups) Weathering tolerance Shattering resistance Disease Resistance Bacterial pustule & blight Downy mildew Phytophthora root rot Sclerotinia stem rot See Project Spec s for detailed info Soymilk, Tofu and Flour traits Clear hilum, seed size, seed colour, protein, milk yield, tofu gelling Protein & oil levels 11sA4 and A5 nulls

4 Advanced lines at On-Farm Trial stage in Southern NSW (Luke Gaynor, NSW DPI, Wagga Wagga) LO23B-23 North Coast NSW (Dr Natalie Moore, NSW DPI, Grafton) NF NK55C-32 Haymaker

5 New Variety for Southern NSW: LO23B-23 " LO23B-23 has been promoted to phase 1 year 2 Commercial evaluation 2 sites (Whitton & Coleambally) " To replace Djakal (~4.15t/ha & 115days) with slightly earlier maturity (2 days) higher yields (8.5% t/ha ) Higher protein content (14% higher) Positive end user approval Grower evaluation received +ve feedback Good crop agronomics and disease tolerances Clear hilum " 3 other lines progressing to Phase 1 strip trials Targeting Lachlan & Macquarie Valleys

6 Variety development for expanding area & new farming systems in Southern NSW & Victoria " High yields over a range of treatments/maturity types " Beds vs bays irrigation layout (irrigation FS evolving) Growers wishing grow soybean broad-acre (not row crop) Significant yield increase (up to 6t/ha or 25%) of some unreleased genotypes & plant types with narrow rows (30cm) in bay layout directly compared to 6ft beds Small bays & very fast water on & off Agronomy research required to extend this work with options of interrow planting of soybean into wheat stubble Reduced early water use & increased grain yield of soybean

7 Riverina trials

8 Riverina trials

9 Advanced lines (1.83m rasied beds; 2 rows/ bed)

10 Advanced lines (30cm rows x 6; irrigation bay)

11 New Varieties for North Coast NSW Australian Soybean Breeding Program Planting windows for soybean on North Coast NSW EARLY 20 Nov 10 Dec MID December LATE 1-20 January Moonbi NF PR443 NK55C-32 Haymaker for hay/silage For grain

12 NF & PR443 Data Summary Replicated field trials LVT (4 Reps) Analysed data averages for 4 seasons to Yield 12% moisture) Seed Size (g/ % moist) Weathering Tolerance (% unweath grain) NF A PR Surf Warrigal Low benchmark Bunya Poseidon Zeus High benchmark

13 NF provides clear hilum option for mid-season planting North Coast NSW (replace A6785) large seed size, high protein yield matches A6785 & Manta at mid season sowing date, addresses yield lag for clear hilum genotypes weathering tolerance sim to A6785/Manta, better than Soya791, Bunya, Warrigal, addresses lag in weathering tolerance for clear hilum types compact plant, less lodging than A6785, clean leaf drop, easy to harvest maturity not suited to southern QLD (trials in southern Qld ) likely to extend range of clear hilum types further south eg. Taree possible grain type NSW Tablelands?

18 New Varieties for North Coast NSW NK55C-32 Haymaker Primary role for hay & silage production replace A6785 & Warrigal for mid-late season planting window on North Coast (end Dec-mid Jan) tall, large biomass highly tolerant to lodging slow maturing = longer window to make hay & silage, important for coastal climate extend to NSW Tablelands (sheep industry) On-Farm Trial Sam & Fleur Tonge, Dobies Bight

22 Haymaker Additional role for grain production large seed, clear hilum, high protein & possesses 11sA4 protein null (for tofu) weathering tolerance similar to A6785, much better than Warrigal extends planting window for North Coast by 2 weeks to late Jan/early Feb suited to grain production into QLD included in grain variety trials in Lockyer Valley & Bundaberg in QLD Haymaker NSW DPI Grafton topped yield trial at Gatton (5.74t/ha), maturity only 5 days > Bunya

23 Advanced lines for Northern inland NSW & Queensland Northern inland NSW (Craig Chapman, NSW DPI Narrabri) Lines with large-seed, high yield, clear hilum, shorter season Replacements for Intrepid, Soya 791, Ivory for irrigated cotton farming system, Northern Slopes & Liverpool Plains Increasing seed for On-Farm trials in Queensland (Dr Andrew James, CSIRO, Brisbane) Lines with high yield, sulfonylurea tolerance, Lx null genes, rust resistance, purple seed stain resistance (replacements for Bunya & A6785) Haymaker for further grain trials in southern QLD in Tropical Qld (non-grdc) M103-17, M103-22
