The mutant showing segregation for male-sterility (BR97-17958) was selected within F5 progeny lines derived from the BR5(6) x Paranaíba cross performed in 1995. The F1, F2 and F3 generations from test-crossings among heterozygous plants of the BR97-17958 line and recessive homozygous plants (male-sterile) of the T 266H (ms1 ms1), T 259H (ms2 ms2), T 273H (ms3 ms3), T274H (ms4 ms4), T277H (ms5 ms5) and T 295H (ms6 ms6) lines were studied to identify whether this mutant defines a new locus or represents and indepedent mutation in one of the six loci already described. The F1, F2, and F3 plants from the crosses were visually classified as presenting normal phenotype of male fertility or male-sterily. Results from inheritance and allele test study among the mutant genotypes and the recessive homozygous male-sterile lines (m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, and m6) provided evidence that the male-sterile characteristics of the line BR97-17958 have a simple recessive Mendelian inheritance and represents a mutatin in a locus different from the ms-loci already described. agenetics aGlycine Max aSoja aHerança aMacho-esterilidade aMale-sterile aSoybean1 aALMEIDA, L.
