A new soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar called "Satonohohoemi" was developed at the National Agricultural Research Center for the Tohoku Region in 2009. This cultivar was selected from a cross between "Tohoku 129" and "Kariko 0264MYF_6" with the goal of developing a cultivar with resistance to soybean mosaic virus (SMV), large seed size and good quality. "Satonohohoemi" is a late maturing variety based on the date of maturity at Kariwano, Akita (latitude 39°32' N, longitude 140°22' E) .It has white flowers, gray pubescence and brown pods at maturity. It has a medium stem height with determinate growth and high height of the lowest stem node with a pod. It is resistant to SMV strains A, B, C and D as well as to both lodging and pod dehiscence. The seeds of "Satonohohoemi" are large, good, yellowish-white seeds with yellow hila. Since the protein content of "Satonohohoemi" is high, it is suitable for tofu processing. "Satonohohoemi" showed high productivity and adaptability in the southern area of the Tohoku district. "Satonohohoemi" was released as a new recommended cultivar by Yamagata prefecture in 2009.
