Development and characterization of biparental mapping population for the properties of seed and seed coat applicable to seed longevity in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill).

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Short life span of soybean seed under ambient storage conditions is a serious challenge for crop production and germplasm maintenance. There are scarce reports on linkage mapping of QTLs for seed longevity, and the molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. The study aimed to develop a biparental recombinant inbred lines (RIL) mapping population suitable to examine seed and seed coat properties...
