Abstract excerpt
To investigate the genetic basis of variation in oil and protein contents in soybean seeds, a diverse collection of 421 mainly Chinese soybean cultivars was genotyped using 1536 SNPs, mostly from candidate genes related to acyl-lipid metabolism and from regions harboring known QTL. Six significant associations were identified for each of seed oil and protein contents which individually explained 2.7-5.9% of the...
