EMS-treated bulked seeds of G. max were developed from a cultivar “Fukuyutaka” at Saga University. The M₂ seed set is derived from approximately 5,000 M₁ plants. A part of this M₂ population was used in a reverse genetic screening technique called TILLING (Hoshino et al. 2010). Users could screen the mutants by themselves and use them for their research. After their studies were published, users are required to deposit the isolated mutant lines derived from this resource to our resource center.
