Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Seed composition QTL from wild soybean were confirmed and validated in two genetic backgrounds across multiple environments, candidate genes were identified, and agronomic performance of backcross introgression lines was evaluated. Through selection for soybean yield, breeders have inadvertently reduced seed protein content and increased oil due to phenotypic and genetic correlations between these...
