Evaluation of Wild Soybean Accessions by Vegetative Indices under Waterlogging Condition

Waterlogging stress is a major problem for production of various crops such as maize, soybean and sugarcane. In the case of soybean, waterlogging can result to heavy yield loss (17%–57%), so several waterlogging-tolerant cultivars have been screened by soybean breeders. In spite of wild soybeans have wide range of genetic resources, evaluation of waterlogging resistance among wild soybeans are still unexplored until now. For this reason, this experiment was carried out to evaluate waterlogging tolerance and sensitivity in wild soybean accessions by using various vegetative indices.
