Soybean is a short-day plant. Longer days and shorter nights such as in Central and Northern Europe are delaying soybean flowering and subsequently maturity. Genes controlling the time to flowering (E-genes) are essential for adaptation to a certain latitude. They are the base of classifying soybean cultivars into maturity groups. A total of 140 Chinese and European elite soybean cultivars were genotyped for the E-genes E1 to E4 and subsequently grown in 17 European environments within the Donau Soja Haberlandt project. Results do not only show how adaptation to a certain latitude is possible, they also indicate that new combinations of E-alleles between Chinese and European soybeans could facilitate a better adaptation of soybean to northern regions of Europe and China as well. This would support breeding progress and productivity of early maturity soybeans.
