• SOYBEAN QTL FOR YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH GLYCINE SOJA ALLELES (2008, background): “Reports show that yield improvements in soybean continue at a modest rate of approximately 30 kg ha year or about 1% year -1 (Specht et al. 1999; Wilcox 2001).”
• Soybean yield partitioning changes revealed by genetic gain and seeding rate interactions (2014, unknown): “An increase in genetic yield gain over time has been well documented by other researchers (Luedders, 1977; Specht et al., 1999; Wilcox, 2001; Cober et al., 2005; De Bruin and Pedersen, 2008, 2009; Kahlon et al., 2011; Rowntree et al., 2013).”
• Genetic Improvement of U.S. Soybean in Maturity Groups II, III, and IV (2014, methodology): “Wilcox (2001) estimated yield gains across a 60 yr period by reviewing Uniform Soybean Test data for MG 00 to IV entries, and found yield gains ranging from 22 kg ha–1 yr–1 for MG 00 to 31 kg ha–1 yr–1 for MG III.”
• Genetic gain × management interactions in soybean: I. Planting date (2013, background): “Previous studies evaluating genetic yield gain in soybean have regressed yields either linearly (Boerma, 1979; De Bruin and Pedersen, 2008b; Specht and Williams, 1984; Wilcox, 2001) or quadratically (Voldeng et al., 1997) over year of release.”
• Soil contamination with cadmium, consequences and remediation using organic amendments. (2017, background): “Total soluble sugar has a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis, and production (Wilcox, 2001).”
• Broadening the Genetic Base of Soybean: A Multidisciplinary Approach (2008, background): “Analyzing data collected from 60 years of cooperative regional tests in the production areas of the U.S. and Canada., Wilcox (2001) concluded that annual rates of yield improvement in kg ha−1 yr−1 for each maturity groups (MG) were 21.6 (MG 00), 25.8 (MG 0), 30.4 (MG I), 29.3 (MG II), 30.6 (MG…”
• Soybean Yield Formation: What Controls It and How It Can Be Improved (2011, background): “Comparison of old and new US soybean cultivars have shown a range of genetic gain from cultivar development of 10 to 30 kg ha-1 yr-1 (Boerma, 1979; Specht and William, 1984; Specht et al., 1999; Wilcox, 2001).”
