Abstract:Three types of sixteen soybean crosses including indeterminate×semideterminate(Ⅰ·Ⅱ)、indeterminate×indeterminate (Ⅰ·Ⅰ) and semideterminate×semi-determinate(Ⅱ·Ⅱ)Were used for investigation of the inheritance of internode length and the relationships with other characters. The results indicated that the length internodes Ⅰ15 was the longest of F1 and F2 populations for all crosses. The numbers of transgressive-parent types Ⅰ·Ⅰ and Ⅱ·Ⅱ crosses were larger than that of type Ⅰ·Ⅱ crosses, but the mid-parent types were fewer than type Ⅰ·Ⅱ crosses, The internode length, at low and up parts of type Ⅰ·Ⅱ cross, at the middle part of tyPe Ⅰ·Ⅰ cross, at the mid-low and up parts of type Ⅱ·Ⅱ crosse, of parent plants had significant and highly significant positive correlations with number of pods per node of F1 and F2 populations respectively. Inheritance of internode length is relatively high for all three types of crosses, indicating that the character is stable and can be selected at early generations.
