Abstract excerpt
Seed morphology and quality of cultivated soybean (Glycine max) have changed dramatically during domestication from their wild relatives, but their relationship to selection is poorly understood. Here, we describe a semi-dominant locus, ST1 (Seed Thickness 1), affecting seed thickness and encoding a UDP-D-glucuronate 4-epimerase, which catalyses UDP-galacturonic acid production and promotes pectin biosynthesis....
