Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In soybean, seed coat pigmentation is regulated by post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) of chalcone synthase (CHS) genes at the I locus. Although several components of the PTGS pathway have been implicated in this process, genetic evidence linking specific RNA silencing factors to seed coat pigmentation remains limited. RESULTS: We identified three independent brown seed coat mutants from an...
