Interpretive Summary: Soybean is one of the major agricultural crops in the United States, producing over 4.4 billion bushels on about 90 million acres a year. However, diseases can cause very significant yield loss every year. The high demands for conventional high-oil soybean cultivars in the food and special niche markets, and broadly adapted cultivars with high yield and disease resistance, have brought attention to breeding programs to develop cultivars targeted for those markets and demands. S13-2743C is a conventional soybean. It was tested in 103 environments across 8 states and shows high-yielding potential in Missouri and other Southern states. It also has high oil content and a strong disease package including resistance to soybean cyst nematode races 3 and 14, Phytophthora root rot, stem canker, sudden death syndrome, and charcoal rot. Therefore, S13-2743C is an excellent choice for soybean growers.

Technical Abstract: High demand for early-maturing conventional high-oil soybean cultivars in the food and special niche markets have led the development and release of S13-2743C. It is a tall early maturity group IV (RM 4.1) conventional soybean developed and released by the University of Missouri – Fisher Delta Research Center Soybean Breeding program. This early-maturing indeterminate type of variety is highly desired by growers in Southern United States because of flexibility during harvest season. S13-2743C has high oil content (238.4 g Kg-1) and strong disease package including resistance to soybean cyst nematode [Heterodera glycines Ichinohe] (SCN) races 3 and 14, Phytophthora root rot [Phytophthora sojae M.J.Kaufmann & J.W.Gerdemann] (PRR), stem canker [Diaporthe aspalathi Jansen, Castlebury & Crous., formerly named Diaporthe phaseolorum var. meridionalis] (SC), sudden death syndrome [Fusarium virguliforme O’Donell & T. Aoki] (SDS), and charcoal rot [Macrophomina phaseolina Tassi Goid] (CR). It has white flowers, grey pubescence, and brown pod wall colors. Seeds have buff hilum and intermediate luster. S13-2743C was tested in 103 environments across 8 states and showed high-yielding potential in Missouri and other Southern states.
