Genome-wide association identifies several QTLs controlling cysteine and methionine content in soybean seed including some promising candidate genes.

Abstract excerpt

Soybean is an important source of protein, oil and carbohydrates, as well as other beneficial nutrients. A major function of proteins in nutrition is to supply adequate amounts of amino acids. Although they are essential for human nutrition, the sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine (Cys) and methionine (Met) are often limited and the genetic control of their content in soybean seeds is poorly characterized....
