As a leading oilseed crop that supplies plant oil and protein for daily human life, increasing
yield and improving nutritional quality (high oil or protein) are the top two fundamental goals …

Molecular markers play a crucial role in the improvement of rice. To benefit from these
markers, genotyping is carried out to identify the differences at a specific position in the …

Introduction The seed weight of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the major traits
that determine soybean yield and is closely related to seed size. However, the genetic basis …

The hundred-seed weight (HSW) is an important yield component and one of the principal
breeding traits in soybean. More than 250 quantitative trait loci (QTL) for soybean HSW have …

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is a crucial oilseed cash crop grown worldwide and
consumed as oil, protein, and food by humans and feed by animals. Comparatively …

Key message A soybean natural population was genotyped by deep re-sequencing and
phenotyped for six seed size-and shape-related traits under six environments to identify …

Total soluble sugar (TSS) is an important component in vegetable soybean seeds during the
R6 stage and greatly impacts fresh soybean flavor. Increasing the TSS content is thus one of …

MIG-seq (Multiplexed inter-simple sequence repeats genotyping by sequencing) has been
developed as a low cost genotyping technology, although the number of polymorphisms …

Tocopherol plays an important role as a powerful antioxidant in human beings and in plants.
This study investigated the genetic basis of tocopherol content in soybean. A RIL population …

Key message A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for the hundred-seed weight (HSW) was
identified and confirmed in the two distinct soybean populations, and the target gene …
