Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is one of the most widely cultivated crops worldwide. Its seeds contain about 40% protein and 20% oil, serving as essential nutrient sources for humans. Given the nutritional importance of seed protein and oil, identifying genes that regulate their levels is crucial for improving soybean seed quality. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify genetic factors associated...
