Process for forming substantially uniform seed assemblages capableof growing f _hybrid and restorer soybean plants

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, An efficient process employing cytoplasmic male sterility is provided wherein seeds capable of forming F1 hybrid Glycine max plants and restorer plants for the same simultaneously are formed in bulk in a single planting area and the seed harvest subsequently is segregated to form two substantially uniform seed assemblages. The parent soybean plants are provided with distinctly colored maternally-derived seedcoats wherein the genes for seedcoat coloration are homozygous dominant in one parent and homozygous recessive in the other parent. The resulting seeds are harvested in bulk and are separated on the basis of the soybean seedcoat coloration. Soybean plants …
