Abstract:	Released in 1990 because of its multiple nematode resistance and high productivity, Bryan (PI542712) was derived from an F5 plant from the cross Centennial X Bedford. Selection for disease resistance, agronomic performance and seed yield was carried out in Georgia, USA during 1982-89. Bryan has a determinate growth habit, purple flowers, tawny pubescence, tan pod walls and yellow seeds with shiny coats and black hila. It is a maturity group VI cultivar and matures 1 day later than Leflore and 1 day earlier than Sharkey. Plant height and lodging of Bryan are similar to those of Leflore; seed weight averages 9% greater than Leflore and 9% less the Sharkey and seed quality is similar for all 3 cultivars. Seeds of Bryan contain 0.9% more oil and 1.7% less protein than those of Leflore. Bryan averaged 6 and 7% higher in seed yield than Leflore and Sharkey, respectively, across 103 environments. Bryan is resistant to the nematodes Heterodera glycines races 1 and 3, Meloidogyne incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica. It is moderately resistant to Diaporthe phaseolorum var. caulivora and has resistance to the foliar diseases Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines and Microsphaera diffusa
