Various methods and compositions are provided for identifying and/or selecting a soybean plant or soybean germplasm with one or more preferred or desired reproductive growth phenotypes. In certain embodiments, the method comprises detecting at least one allele of one or more marker locus within or linked to a QTL associated with days to initiation of flowering. In other embodiments, the method additionally comprises detecting at least one allele of one or more marker locus within or linked to a QTL associated with days to maturity. In further embodiments, the method comprises crossing a selected soybean plant with a recurrent soybean parent plant. Further provided herein are marker loci, marker alleles, primers, probes, and kits suitable for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasms with one or more reproductive growth phenotypes.

Genetic loci associated with reproductive growth phenotypes in soybean and methods of use

A novel soybean variety, designated 5PBEZ65 is provided. Also provided are the seeds of soybean variety 5PBEZ65, cells from soybean variety 5PBEZ65, plants of soybean 5PBEZ65, and plant parts of soybean variety 5PBEZ65. Methods provided include producing a soybean plant by crossing soybean variety 5PBEZ65 with another soybean plant, methods for introgressing a transgenic trait, a mutant trait, and/or a native trait into soybean variety 5PBEZ65, methods for producing other soybean varieties or plant parts derived from soybean variety 5PBEZ65, and methods of characterizing soybean variety 5PBEZ65. Soybean seed, cells, plants, germplasm, breeding lines, varieties, and plant parts produced by these methods and/or derived from soybean variety 5PBEZ65 are further provided.
