Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Soybean is one of the most important crop sources of tocopherols (Toc). However, the content of α-Toc, an isoform with the highest vitamin E activity in humans, is low in most cultivars. With the aim of broadening genetic variability, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis for a high seed α-Toc trait detected in a wild soybean and characterized the sequence polymorphisms and expression...
